Village Love

sordid floors
dark paths
lily scented nights 
crispy country air
crackling fireplaces
shadows under the moon
sounds of the night
silence in the dark
mingling
tangoing 
in perfect pitch 
the harmonious beat
of intoxicating drums
the twirling dance
of dizzying 
village 
love

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
