The Lovers

How gently darkness lays itself upon the restless sea,
While breezes scented  cool and clean, are blowing wild and free.
When moonlight's blush fades gradually and hides it's ash white face,
A thousand candles dimly lit, now frame the soft embrace.

 All through the night with spirits bright as shameless dreams unfold,
'till sunlight makes the darkness break to show the story told.       
Tempest waters calm and smooth, stillness now the sea,
Sky and water bound in love-- as lovers, you and me.

Poetic imagery in this poem. An evocative write.

Beautiful...absolutely love it. The way you conjure up images , the way you rhyme, the way you say it, everything just perfect.
