When Sunset And Stars Shine On Sacred Ground - a Collaboration with Frederic Parker
My love, let us live this paradisal evening
dressed in wispy clouds of red
and tailored in strips of orange embellishing the horizon
where shades and shadows embrace your face
as the last glimmer of daylight falls
leaving a raptured sky of coral pink and red
enhancing your beauty in the twilight's glow
as your hair dances like tranquil threads
in the breeze of the day's end
where the throes of velvet gleam
shine through a veil of parting clouds
your lips part like fragrant petals forming words
they drift to my ears on breathless sighs of romance
the world disappears, I see only you
revealed in amorous scenes of romantic portraits
hanging on the wall of my heart
your eyes welcome me into their mysterious world
of ardent fantasies and dreams
filled with amorous promises of aphrodisiacal kisses
and heartfelt need
where nothing exists but the tenderness that binds us
to the offerings we toss in the flame
stoked by enchantment and primordial urge
when our hearts become naked and unafraid
of what lies before us
when we look into the eyes of ardor drawing us closer
to a timeless intimate celestial wish
for the sun has set
and the night has opened its stars to us
beneath buttercream streams of Venus light
soft our breath caressing the air we share
fingertips mingle skin-sensations so sacred
the feel of your touch the only satisfaction I’ll know
in a moon garden of gardenia glamour
spicy scents hug the dark like a temptress
feminine and masculine sweet and wild the musk
so like us
woo of wind spirit flutters the pulse
of roots and stems and tendrils
reaching grasping unmasking everlasting
invisible but for dances of lilacs and moonflowers
and flirty traipses of tresses in slight stirrings
frisky-felt on fair-freckled skin
bare but for the moonglow we wear
quiver of white lilacs on branches
shiver of green leaves blended in shadows
feel naught what we already feel and savor
the lilac leaf the shape of our intimacy
a supple vein of love joining two halves
as each half as a whole shares as one heart
the same stars the same moon the same lilac spray
moonflowers in bloom unveil vanilla perfume
oh sweet its release lured by a flurry of murmurs
how sweet your breath gliding over every leaf
over every moonvine petal
how sweet your sighs gliding over me
my name in the vibe of your sighs beguile my ears
your hands in my hair
loose curls looping your fingers like trellis-vines
your lips our kiss within a whisper’s edge
we rouse in dance like luna moths
earthly and ethereal
like heat waves escaping an oasis we rise
ripples growing in waves sweep our mortal veins
rising to break the ache of chains and singe the stars
our passion astral and feral a meteor a lightning bolt
tonight we steal the scene
from the buxom moon in her silver stole
our afterglow steals the luster from nightglow
aerial and physical
so like us
