The Starry Night

 

 

He breathed heavily

In the hollow of her neck

 

He let out all the unwanted feelings of his past

To the softness of her depth

To consume an assuring certainty

 

The soft touch on her face

The lingering dance of his lips on her lips

Awakened the emotions of his needs

 

She surrounded her beauty

He captured her with dignity

The starry night was passing

The moon was reaching,

The height of the mountain behind them

The dawn settled onto the garden

 

From the depth of her soul

She breathed in his resting arms

Surrendered

To the green sense of love

In the cottage of tomorrow
