Refractory Patience
From the drizzling silver of yearning night,
mesmeric flotilla of fervor on moonbeam
sails through the aperture of your window,
anchoring on the swan-winged bedspread.
The diaphanous ivory of your sparkling skin,
radiates supine patina of luminous longing,
blazes in the invisible flare of eros ember,
as the moonshine stokes the amorous fire.
As a fly enticed by consummating bonfire,
I waft to fondle luring sizzler of glowing you.
Lest I burn my lascivious probing passion,
I wear the refractory potholder of patience.
