Notes About The Poem

The Silence Fades with a Soft Embrace
"The silence fades with a soft embrace"
but strokes my soul like butterfly dreams,
whilst words unsaid lace the amethyst air
with strings of silver and citrine ~
clutching metaphors to the moon’s nectarine,
like a love rhyme written in tears never seen.
Tonight, in the hushed heat of starlight,
I trace your initials with ink and sighs,
craving to be heard amidst the white noise,
where the blackbird sings but is a feeler ~
of me, the breathless leaves of palm trees,
and crashing sparks drenched in sea salt.
O paused pulse of midnight,
meet me where time forgets tomorrow.
Listen to these voiceless verses:
I am neither the curator nor the canvas ~
yet like the gossamer gates within your heart,
I ache to be wrapped, forever, by Cupid’s violet flame…
