for today and for always

artwork by Konstatin Razumov

from the moment
the burning tongue of dawn
licks the sky
        i hunger for your touch
when red arrows of dusk
pierce through clouds
      i crave your kiss
the musky breeze whispers
to enflamed palm fronds
an inferno is sparked
     and so the yearning continues
naughty stars of night
incite passion
my soliloquy is never - changing
mon amour, pour aujourd'hui et pour toujours

Beautiful picture followed by passionate and wonderful poetry - the whole ended with the most glorious French phrase!

'i hunger for your touch
when red arrows of dusk
pierce through '

Those words epitomize love in its deepest, most faithful and sincere way. Glorious writing!

dear Lydi... your tantalizing expressions
excite the dawn of amour. Lingering in
the breeze of freesia scented passion
stirs the day with gentle passion.
truly... Pat

Sensual yet gentle sentiments lie in this poem. Amour vit éternellement dans vos coeurs et dans les cieux.
Love lives forever in your hearts and in the heavens.
