Illusions, Dreams or Fantasy

~ a collaboration with my favorite poet Trace ~

 

On golden sheets, of sunlight’s kiss

lady of light, of dawn, of dew

wrapped in the warmth of joyous bliss

and warmer still, with thoughts of you

 

 

When blue shade takes the day away

I watch the dance of pale moonbeams

weave wonder as the heaven’s sway

awakening rapturous dreams

 

I hear the song, the nightingale

as smooth as silk, and as she sings

she fills the night with the regale

of lovers with unconfined wings

 

On feathery winds, I long to fly

to soar upon a sky of blue

would not this dream yet pass us by

a dream that starts and ends with you

 

Who breathes upon my necks soft nape

who murmurs love upon my ear

the sweetest kiss, I can’t escape

I reach for you to pull you near

 

And it is then, that I will don

a satin dress to greet the sky

the pale moonbeams melding upon

the strength of you, the curve of I

 

The sparkle in your eyes that glow

the whisper of your lips sublime

you draw me in and let me know

that I am yours and you are mine

 

The wet of dew, the dancing waves

the rise and fall, the fragile fawn

the bend of trees on wind that saves

the passion when my robes are gone

 

Now give to me all that I crave

and in return your hearts desire

but don’t expect me to behave

you sparked the flame, you built the fire!

 

 

Is your sweet kiss not meant for me

is it the songs of love divine

illusions, dreams or fantasy

and yet my gilded bedposts shine….

AHHHHH! My life is complete. When you two write together it makes me so happy. You guys are just perfect together, I fangirl over your work - both of you - and when your pens merge it's like heaven with words. You two are my favourite writers here and I admire you both, you're a huge inspiration to me.

Stunning poetry as ever, both of you!

I see you guys like two wonderful universal radio receivers who tune into the same frequency with such ease to receive and out comes super sensual music as poetry. On the same page, in the same key and effortlessly symphonic. Great work both!

This is phenomenal. I mean absolutely completely and truly phenomenal.

I want to pick one or two stanzas as my favorite, but I kept reading and was like no this one was better, and then this one was even better.. and it kept building!

If I was just forced to only pick one stanza, It'd be this:

Now give to me all that I crave
and in return your hearts desire
but don’t expect me to behave
you sparked the flame, you built the fire!

Awesome awesome awesome.

But there's four others easily I adore.

You are beautiful!

[MsJewel]

Another beautifully romantic poem, but what makes this one different is that subtle dose of lust add in. Makes for a very explosive poem.
