Silent Nights

The night held a cool northern breeze
Windows opened, the curtains fluttering in the air
I listened to her breathing, feeling her soul rise and fall
The heat of the night clung to me like her scent on my fingers
The silence was overwhelming
For the love I felt
I gazed out the window at all the stars in the sky
Thinking to myself in silence
I have a lovely star right here by my side

Wow! I love this beautiful romantic poem! You are standing in the same line with Byron, Keats, Neruda as long as you keep writing like this. Another that will go into my favorites along with you! Aloha and a Happy Easter to you too Arthur!

Wow!! I see a different shade of Arthur on these prose.. The lighter side someone that's feel peace inside.. I love the last last line.. It's true when you found that someone whom you find all that there is the stars, moon and sun lights depreciate for what you have shines deeper than the superficial.. It's a transformer light :) this another sweet one:), olive eloisa :)
