Only the Night

a romantic little poem

Lauri Blank ~ Midsummer Nights Dream

~~~

All the stars shining brightly

just dim in your light

Still drawn to your beauty

they kiss you goodnight

 

In silver, soft crystals

warmed with a moonbeam

wrap hearts gently beating

in luminous dream

 

For a silken moment

together we fly

'til wings get all tangled

in morns almond sky

 

How is it they take us

where no one else goes?

All the stars shining brightly

Only the night knows…

~~~

An upbeat romantic write. When love works well it is the greatest thing in the world. Nicely penned.

That was really nice, very soft and like a whisper.
It has been a long time since I have read one of your poems. It was nice to read one again.

Absolutely marvelous in its romance, imagery, emotions, rhyming.
Your poems transport the reader to the height, depth and width of love. Coupled with a painting is another plus.
Your Jewels are shinning brightly.
