Nocturnal Sonnet

From:
(Date)
may i touch your porcelain-like skin as it sparkles in the light,
your piercing eyes sensing the heat of our unity in the darkness…of night;
may i step into your dreams and emotions with care;
riding the tide, without fearing; need i dare;
may i sense your love as we lie on the grass in the dusk of a day,
sensing the fire as it ascends in the west,
creating the tears,
the fears and emotions......at its best;
may i hand you a rose, one that has blossomed in the light of day,
now its petals so fair;
its meaning so deep;
its thorns like talons, that pierce through our souls,
and may make us weep;
may i act as timid,
as a courting gentleman may;
in the moonlight above
may i ask 'voulez-vous dancez'?
may i salvage in a bottle,
our times together, should they end;
so that society may sense the freedom,
the emotion,
and the power
as it transcends;
may our dreams be filled with
fantasies, that are endeared
for just one night, and
may our souls commence their searches,
finding unity in darkness, as we suddenly see the light……
