Lilac Dawn

Come, my dear,

suffuse my skies...

with your tender light,

be the tug of a distant, 

lavender moon, 

the one I can feel, even...

in my deepest slumber

be the kiss in my hair,

that no one sees, 

move...when I move,

sigh, when I sigh...

be that line from a poem,

that I hold in my eyes,

and gaze upon....

my vast home of horizon

come tumbling down...

with me, whenever I laugh

be my wildest ambrosia...

and purest heartache

be the touch 

of far off, smoky mountain winds,

that I yearn to feel

scatter as a prayer 

escaping my lips,

as orchids ...

blooming in clouds,

and stay, 

stay... 

forever, as my quiet song,

in my lilac dawn.

The velvety soft emotion in this poem is absolutely stunning! I want to wrap myself in the soothing comfort of your words. "be the kiss in my hair that no one sees" WOW! The sort of love you speak of here is the sort of love we read about in romance novels. The imagery is charismatic. You wear your emotions like a silk scarf around your neck, Sanober. Enchanting!
