Tracing the Footprints of Togetherness

In the twilight hour we are by the window Open to the horizon hues And to the brushing breeze, See the sky shimmer with the last glow Of the setting spent sun, Its flickering flare floods your face Now flushing with the touch of love We brought this far together. We haven’t counted the steps But the footprints unfaded I see deep within my mind Yours beside mine Pacing all the way together Where we are now Under the serene shade of still time. The silver shine of the amorous moon Sprayed blue sparkles through the window slit Spreading mystique ecstasy on your eyes Forming a deep azure sea In which I swam across time, Reached the distant shore filled with your scent Where my first red rose touched your lilac lips And we made demure dreams together. The dreams drove us Where we are now Under the sensuous shadow of lingering love. ______________ Written : February 25, 2018. Contest : 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 1 Sponsored by : Mark Toney
