Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Reflection In Silence

Silence reverberate through picturesque 
    Soft glow; against the wakeful night darkness 
      Spinning a dance of fine idyllic threads
 
  Wherein yesterday are not forgotten.
    I evoke the narrative of my youth. 
      A gifted love now lost in the waning moon. 

  Where he and I unite with distant hymn lull
    Nightingales that always brings him back to keep. 
      A lullaby, they sing my heart to appease. 

  Once, devoured by his fathomless steel blue eyes.
    My fingers would get lost in his blond twirl curls,
      Lust numb kisses in a trice of time in warm 

  Whiffs embrace; then gently fades in silence. 
    Amidst dim midnight twilight and spun gold, 
      Somber dappled auburn shade of early dawn.
