Your Silhouette Caresses

setting suns steal earth's life-light . . . gentle rays of night - moon, stars - reprieve raw rhythms leaving soundless footprints impressing the rich fabric of the dark though you walk away tonight your silhouette caresses . . . Copyright, November 7, 2014 Faye Lanham Gibson

Yes. I am doing much of my posting these days using just my phone. I had edited that line on howmanysyllables. com but then posted the original and didn't catch the error. Thanks for your kind comment....it is my fault.

Well Faye, if he has any sense he'll be back. Lovely take on the theme and a nice touch separating the last two lines as it intensifies the angst of separation.
