~Silver Thread'd Divertimento ~

 

Watching a swaying Chinese lantern

in colors the shade of your smile

Paper laced dreams in curvature shapes…

suspended silver threads…

 

Ripples of koi pond whispers

slowly beckon in moonlit gestures,

as we sit counting fireflies,

hypnotized by our beating hearts

 

Cascades serenade,

enchanting the evening divertimento

Lotus blossom fingertips softly

caress parted lips…smooth

 

As I drink of your fragrance,

tasting the flavors, your moistened touch

simmering upon each breath…

warm, offering a honey’d embrace

 

Gazing longingly upon porcelain skin,

tempting star shine glow…

we melt as one, mouths entwined

drenched in serenity

 

while deep within our silence we speak,

not of voice…but of love
