The Dawn Speeds Swift

The dawn speeds swift upon night's lovers
Dark nooks surprised by harsh sunlight
Soon startle to their morning manners
The dawn speeds swift upon night's lovers
Their sweetness, daybreak swallows not
Last kisses linger, liquid, long together...

The dawn speeds swift upon night's lovers
Dark nooks surprised by harsh sunlight

Very well written my friend - Sunlight for some could be true and sad and for others happy and glad... Hugs Gershon, Jennifer.

Thank you for the perceptive observation, Jennifer. We do, indeed, interpret everything through the prism of our own unique lenses. Warm wishes, Gershon

Ha, ha. Enjoyed your comment, Charlie. Yes, occasionally some of the 'bloody romanticism' bleeds right out on the screen here. Best wishes, Gershon

Can't imagine you angry, Connie. But if you were for a few moments, that I'm so glad to have helped allay that anger. Best wishes, Gershon

Oh, Gershon, your romantic side is as amazing as your insightful side, and then, there is your witty side of equal impressive value.. but beyond that, your endearing side trumps them all. A fantastic romantic poem, my wonderful friend, lovely in imagery, emotion and a sheer pleasure to read. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
