Penumbra

He writes, pouring down his words of glory
Disclose the echoes of his wondrous dream
Down into his soul her untold story 
Boundless desire; her tears, her eyes gleam.

With strokes of rufous and cherry and wine
Erasing the dark shadows from her eyes
Canvas of ivory their love entwine
Surround them believe, O Eros, Arise!

Her heart she bore in a penumbra wakes
Of all the galaxies vast, he chose hers
Loving arms hold her still, is what it takes
His gaze, his touch, his love he then whispers

His words are robins of dawn in her heart
They fall, no they fall and never to part.
