Satin and Silk

Satin and Silk

A Poem by RomaJ

What keeps me awake at night?

The glow
of soft golden flames
flickering in the night

casting shadows
of Silhouettes
dancing
in its wavering, light

It's the sweet,
melodic hum
of a vast,
tranquil ocean
Swaying,
in harmonic rhythms

As lovers dance, in a sea of satin and silk

fingers clasping
bodies rising
falling
arching
in rapturous waves
colliding

As lovers dance, in a sea of satin and silk

part of this reminds me of "Patterns" by simon and Garfunkel...

"casting shimmering shadows on the houses through the trees....paints a pattern on my wall, like the pieces of a puzzle. or a child's uneven scrawl>

nicely done...I like the passion flickering in the room and in the hearts.

Thank you, Valentine.

indeed. It makes the nights, even more wondrous
If I ever have trouble sleeping then this is the kind of trouble I hope that finds me. Uber sensual and I love the way you played with the challenge. Beautifully lush writing Roma J.
The fireplace imagery makes this a hot tamale.
