for today and for always

artwork by Konstatin Razumov

from the moment
the burning tongue of dawn
licks the sky
        i hunger for your touch
when red arrows of dusk
pierce through clouds
      i crave your kiss
the musky breeze whispers
to enflamed palm fronds
an inferno is sparked
     and so the yearning continues
naughty stars of night
incite passion
my soliloquy is never - changing
mon amour, pour aujourd'hui et pour toujours

Author's Note

mon amour, pour aujourd'hui et pour toujours = my love for today and for always

This is well place passion on the page, which could've been skin the way this quivers, sweats and stretches along a skeletal structure. You can tell you put your soul in it too flesh these words...great anatomy of nature for such a circulation is inspiration...great piece

"naughty stars of night
incite passion
my soliloquy is never - changing"~ When something this bright burns into your heart it never changes...
it only burns more... intense...

Oh Lydi, this is truly exquisite, amazingly structured poem, with the imagery of passionate longings
subtlety boiling beneath the surface...i love:

the musky breeze whispers
to enflamed palm fronds
an inferno is sparked
and so the yearning continues
naughty stars of night
incite passion
my soliloquy is never - changing
mon amour, pour aujourd'hui et pour toujours

simply brilliant...thank you for sharing! pen on :)

[ms. barrie]

you're very welcome, Lydi, and the pleasure was all mine. wish everyone would stop writing
such amazing poetry though lol :)

[Lydia Shutter]

You are funny!

[ms. barrie]

not really, i'm just being honest LOL! :)

[Lydia Shutter]

I think when we read good poetry, our own poetry improves. Don't sell yourself short...your poetry is very good.

[ms. barrie]

aw thank you, Lydi...for your sweet, encouraging words, I truly appreciate that! I agree but then i'm afraid everyone elses' words are going to seep into my subconscious. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

You know I adore this! And I love the french!

It's true, what you said about the palm fronds...if the sunlight catches them just right, they do appear to be "enflamed". [Of course, only those living in California or Florida would know this.]

Hope you have a wonderful autumn weekend!

[Lydia Shutter]

Autumn really changes nothing here in South Florida....you know that. The palm fronds look the same all year round and the grass stays green. Thanks for your review....and I remembered....GARY BENFIELD!!! lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

..thanks Lydi!
