A Night of Longing

I tilt my head back and glance shyly at the stars,
A blush grazes my cheeks as the night wind caresses me,
My senses spinning as I lay back in the dampened grass,
Looking skyward - eyes searching the blended canvas,
What is it about the night that romances me,
Takes my thoughts and coats them in sugar,
Kisses my lips with the tenderest of notions,
Breathes new life into my forlorn heart,
Courses through my tantric veins,
Until I am left in turmoil of unspent desires,
Filled with renewed dreams of unkissed eyes,
Racing toward gilded dreams in fields of riotous sonnets,
Ah to be a hope filled romantic in the guise of a poet,
To drift daily in those breathless reveries,
To be made love to by the night sky,
Under the burning gaze of the stars,
Tended by the teasing caresses of the night wind,
Lost in the sea of dew laden grasses -
That cling with utmost urgency,
Bathed in the light and darkness of the transitional moon,
Serenaded by the lullaby of blue-gray clouds upon an ocean of night,
Body and soul blended in perfect harmony,
A moment as pure as the white of the comet -
That pierces the sky and culminates all my senses.

You have stolen the darkness, kissed away the stars.... What incredible talent ---Thank you for a moment where memory tares me away from reality and returns me to ethereal moment of treasure.
