The Sanctuary of Love

I wrote poems to your "heart" under the long red "thread" of sunset that laid upon the horizon's "beautiful" skyline of twilight as the clear songs from "birds" echoed in the distance before the coming "dark" of night The breadth between our eyes was "fathomless" when my love yearned for you in the "silence" of time aware of every quiver from your lips that welcomed each undulating "breathless" kiss that filled the heart of passion beneath your soft black "hair" as it hung down though captured by my palms where I looked into your deep "green" eyes and lived on the outskirts of paradise Love was the wondrous velvet road we journeyed on to find the furthest reaches of our souls and touch the deepest intimacy of our passionate understandings it's there I laid my poems upon your naked heart as an offering to our love 2/21/20 contest Writing Prompt-ten words poetry contest sponsored by Dear Heart
