Night falls once more
and I alone
walk the sand dunes
of her sleeping
eyes
tracing our footsteps back
along the gentle stream
of tears
that flow along her laughter lines
painted skies of midnight blue
steal my breath
as smudged horizon blend
with swaying reeds
blown soft within the breeze
of lovers sighs
here I lay safe warm smiling
tracing I love you's
with idle playful fingertips
knowing in dreams
she sees me there
beneath the twinkle of her eyes
awaiting her return
when morning
comes.

Ravens in flight
wings spread
wide
against the alabaster
of twilight
clouds
that frame
the gentle pinks
and reds of sleepy subsets
autumn hidden
as yet
behind wisps of midnight blue
waver softly in the warmth
of summers sleeping
breath
as I alone wipe the stars
from sleepy skies
and picture mornings born
from beauty such
as this
taste once more the dew drops
from as yet
closed
Rose petals tips
and smile
leaving it there upon her lips
my sweetest of moments
captured
forever in a single
goodnight
kiss.
