As evening takes my hand

 

 

As evening takes my hand

 

 

“For in your light I dream, as evening takes my hand”

 

Silently I find my thoughts illumined by your beauty;

in soft shimmers of dancing silhouettes

and patterns allowing breaths to sigh

 

Eyes peer into velvet skies,

visions set in motion eternally, find me

stranded within the confines of my heart ~ longing for you

Desperate for but a breeze, a movement of shadow,

a hope of wishes made upon an early arrival

of this crested view

 

Lonely among the sycamore, towering soldiers

lined at fielded boundaries, claiming wisdom

as they too reach for your smile

 

“And I crave the knowledge of your distant view”

 

Do you think, do you feel, do you dream of me

from balconies high above hibiscus footpaths,

candle lit in passing moments which flicker ~ enchant

 

Sipping from a porcelain cup caressed by your hand,

a touch my body pleads, soft fingers on smooth surroundings,

ripples following a moonlight blush

of celestial blooms and shooting star showers,

flooding affections to wash over me…

carry me home

 

This moon, suspended in charcoal heavens

upon a beaded blanket of perfect pearls,

beckons our dreams in illumined cadence~ from a distance

 

“Does your heart share this moon tonight ~ with me”

such a beautiful image here Jack. A quietly sensual poem - a whisper, a breeze through lace curtains. Gentle love. Exquisite.

Oh Jack... I can feel this so deeply... For we all see the same moon... I think I read this before but maybe couldnt comment.. I remember remarking I loved the word silhouette in it because that is an alter name I use... lol I write a lot about moonlight and dreams... This poem is just over the top gorgeous... I am so glad I got to read this again.. xo Rose

[Jack...]

[shallimarRose]

What is as beautiful as moonlight on the water? Sitting on the sand, watching the waves rolling in, glowing in the moonlight...the breezes off the water catching in my hair...soft music playing in the background...
As I softly dream.
Thank you, Jack.

Angel my friend, your sweet words to me are always what my dreams are made of. Thank you so very much. Will you share the moon tonight with me? It is a beautiful crescent and I believe Venus is sitting very near in these August skies.

[Angel]

I will make a point of going outside to moongaze tonight, my sweet friend...and I will think of you, as we share the moon together. You have my word...

[Jack...]

I will see you there beneath the smiling crescent moon.

[Astro]

Indeed a thought most touching and often a question that I have asked myself Jack. Beautifully stated, I like the bit about the pleading to feel the caress of fingers on porcelain. Well done.

[Jack...]

You caught that line huh? Thanks my friend. I knew this one would find you.

[Astro]

Like an clear evening it shone through like the moon ;)
