Night's Song

A poem about how the song of the night envelopes and breathe life.

Whisper to me from the eaves of your soul
Touch your breath upon my lips and 
Make my skin sing the song of appeasement.

I feel the leaves rustle overhead in the canopy of stars 
And in the breath of night.
Sweet the fragrance of stars dripping yellow and pink
upon the fertile landscape below.

Hold my feet fast to your heart to let me feel the thrum of you.
Guide my hand to the earth and let her part under my fingertips.

The verdant night bestows all of her numinous grace upon me.
Sleep, oh moon upon my eyes,
Soft in your waxing and waning upon the imprint of my soul.

This is breath-taking. I love "Sweet the fragrance of stars dripping yellow and pink
upon the fertile landscape below."
Your language here is beautiful and I seriously read this like five times. It's just my style. Amazing job!

Nice work...so much can be visualized within your poem, the sky, stars, moon, all within the scope of earth...we are Soul's traveling this world among this creation called time...

Whisper to me from the eaves of your soul
Touch your breath upon my lips and
Make my skin sing the song of appeasement.


This was sooo beautifully written. Good job :)

The metaphors are warm and sensual. Much has been said of the coldness of moonlight, you have proven that wrong in this poem..

"Make my skin sing the song of appeasement."
"Guide my hand to the earth and let her part under my fingertips."

Beautiful
