Illusions, Dreams or Fantasy

~ a collaboration with my favorite poet Trace ~

 

On golden sheets, of sunlight’s kiss

lady of light, of dawn, of dew

wrapped in the warmth of joyous bliss

and warmer still, with thoughts of you

 

 

When blue shade takes the day away

I watch the dance of pale moonbeams

weave wonder as the heaven’s sway

awakening rapturous dreams

 

I hear the song, the nightingale

as smooth as silk, and as she sings

she fills the night with the regale

of lovers with unconfined wings

 

On feathery winds, I long to fly

to soar upon a sky of blue

would not this dream yet pass us by

a dream that starts and ends with you

 

Who breathes upon my necks soft nape

who murmurs love upon my ear

the sweetest kiss, I can’t escape

I reach for you to pull you near

 

And it is then, that I will don

a satin dress to greet the sky

the pale moonbeams melding upon

the strength of you, the curve of I

 

The sparkle in your eyes that glow

the whisper of your lips sublime

you draw me in and let me know

that I am yours and you are mine

 

The wet of dew, the dancing waves

the rise and fall, the fragile fawn

the bend of trees on wind that saves

the passion when my robes are gone

 

Now give to me all that I crave

and in return your hearts desire

but don’t expect me to behave

you sparked the flame, you built the fire!

 

 

Is your sweet kiss not meant for me

is it the songs of love divine

illusions, dreams or fantasy

and yet my gilded bedposts shine….
