Amaranthine Love:

Soft, soft this sigh upon the wind

When darkness

Falls...

Amaranthine love...

Misted lace, winding whispered veils

Of gold and blue;

Never-ending soul-lit perfume;

Pressed moist upon

The breath of summer's sky

So long ago...

Hues of yesterdays

When stars lit the sable'd night,

Dressed in ribbons of fire,

Their resonance,

Like crimson sutures

Across my heart...

Where whispers, soft, undressed me

To receive sacraments of desire

In sinews of nerve-ends

Burning loving breath

Across velvet flesh folded beneath

Your tremors...

In the light of your night

My body

Became yours...tender

... the curve of breast

Caressed by a silken pulse,

Soft...

...the eyes of damp surrender

Dissolving sweet as sugared petals

Upon your tongue...

 

And in this hour,

Surely you have heard my mouth

Part to ribbon your name in

The tightest corset of night,

Pausing only

To memorise the curl of

Smiles...tracing the lines

Of lips with closed

Eyes so that I might braile

This fiery feeling in the smooth

Shadowy halls of my spirit

always

Always........

Kneeling at the edge of your ocean...searching for the warmth of your arms

Lost in silent whispers...praying that your eyes will find me ... J
