Notes About The Poem

The Breadth and Depth of Me Gf1

You form the breadth
And depth of me, my love,
As the sable night
In twilight's finest silk.

Lavender lilacs poise
In simplicity
And Fresh's joys;
Nature generously renders.
Its redolence wanders
On a small simple table
Set for two;
Quiet and peaceable.

Struggling dreams reach, 
Eager climax cries.
Apace,
A waft murmur hum,
Lilacs scent lingers
Delicious romantic sighs;
Come smothering ardent rhythm
Through the warm hidden
Night it surrenders.

My love,
You form the breadth
And depth of me,
As the sable night
In twilight's finest silk.
