leave me to fade into yesterdays
of moonlight and limbs entwined
fleeting temptation we couldn’t deny
to pleasure we yielded and dined
savouring the lick of heat in our veins
our senses and touch ablaze
breathing in feverish scents awash
we tumbled in lusty forays
yet written in stardust our names were not
a moment’ry madness’ delight
the draw of the silvery moonlit skies
that offered a carnal respite
and in my mind’s eye i lie in your arms
that wasn’t our dream to dream
i bid you farewell on this dying night breeze
remember me as a dream
a dream that keeps me warm...very sensual...
ReplyDeleteOoooooo that picture alone captivates me Shadow! Thank you for a powerful poem! Blessings dear one.
ReplyDeleteA well lived moment with no regrets. May they all be thus appointed Shadow.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Shadow. I think this is your BEST EVER!!!!! Seriously.
ReplyDeleteJust stunning writing Shadow. And evocative like a dream...
ReplyDeleteShadow this is sad, yet loving and beautiful -- "savouring the lick of heat in our veins" i LOVE this line, what an enduring way to say goodbye ...
ReplyDeletewarm smiles,
Your words sing a song of memory and mystery to me, Shadow. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteA fleeting memory to revisit in the dream world
I'm sure there are going to be times when a moment or two passes
ReplyDeleteBut those moments that come and go (one maybe two)
That one that might happen but will never be more than two
For there will only be one moment in time
all other moments my thoughts are of you lovely shadow
so you see it's that one moment not that I be able to forget
everything else will forever remain
I cannot forget all those moments I remember them all
each moment you made special your essence made special
thank you for being you lovely shadow i thank you
thank you
A sad one. Hope all is well Shadow.
ReplyDeleteSo spoken as she slipped below the surface--my goodness, that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSecretia
Margaret will you please take me home
ReplyDeletethey say as in them
I hear them screaming but I only
repeat it softly
slowly
monotone
Margaret-please-take-me-home

share your feelings...
your memeroys are more unresistable for me than mine ones .

ReplyDeleteyour words are SO alive <3
ReplyDeletewhat a touching poem!
ReplyDeleteBlimey Shadow fourty two comments you are getting a big following now soon I will be seeing your poems in major bookstores.
ReplyDeleteReally had probs in 2009 my 5th year just staying in the moment problem with me my mind is always straying off into weird worlds of magic pixies.
Beuatiful poems, I have been reading them imprisoned here at my despatch desk watching the snow flurries out of the window, brick sales are quiet this time of year.
Happy new year and its good to be back in blogworld again after being away with the fairys for so long...
This poem conjures up someone in particular for me. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and familiar thoughts. You are so gifted!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful poetry again with a dream in it...
ReplyDeleteJoliieess:)

ReplyDeleteI love the romance of this writing! You took me to a place .... that is what good writing does!
ReplyDeleteTo be remembered thus would be beautiful. I know of dreams that are not mine to dream. Your poem captures it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love the words, Shadow. Very intimate. And the picture is very captivating, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you. :)
Such beauty and passion in your words, Shadow. Love it!
