how can i talk of the night
when you blind me with moon
and star pierce my sight
when you tarnish my gaze
with firefly bright
an erratic flicker
pinpricks of light
..
Enchanted
..
how can you tempt with diffident day
soft sunshine sojourn; shadows will sway
in promise of heat, dare you take me away?
..
dreaming
..
of sand and temptation in turquoise seas
our luxuriant skin
under tropical trees
This is such a beautiful poem! Congratulations!

I’ve discovered I would have to give up my day job to be able to venture as I’d like to in the blogosphere. The best I can humanly manage is visiting a core of authors that “speak to me” …. the inner circle of wonders.
That’s where I find you lovely lady! 😌🌹💕
