silent night

dusk arising

 

smiling with the butterflies
laughter enlights her cobalt eyes     
glance ecstasy personified
in barefoot dancing pale levi's

.       as outside silent night sweeps by
.       in duvet slumbers dreams i lie
.       where years desires carefree fly
.           till dawning's kiss
.                    of sweet goodbye

each motion making mockery
a passion hence denied in me
till lovers final harmony
enraged my thundering timpani


.        as outside silent night sweeps by
.        quiet calls a stifled cry
.        memory time cannot deny
.              of dawnings kiss
.                      and last goodbye

        Perfection on a piece of paper. I'm quite taken aback from the beauty in it from the first word till the last.

          • dusk arising

            Thank you Christina. I think it must have overpowered some, it appears 24 people viewed it but only 5 have commented.
            Definately heartfelt you are right there. All the stuff of dreams is from our hearts after all.

              Great write Dusk. Enjoyed seeing an orchestral percussion instrument make its way into your poem.

              • dusk arising

                I hope the climactic sexual timpani sensation isn't something Thanks for your appreciation.

                • Gary Edward Geraci

                  No worries Dusk - it doesn’t offend me.

                  I can not tell a lie... this was thoroughly enjoyed... a delicious little read on my return to these shores and true...

                • Neville

                  interesting, tell me ..when did you last see a butterfly smile

                  • dusk arising

                    Never, the opening line is about smiling in the presence of the little winged beauties. It's a dream sequence.
                    One would hope that having reached maturity from maggot and pupae stage, the little critters were a tad on the happy side - till some beautiful passing bird makes a meal of them. Makes 'dressing up for dinner' take on a whole new hue.

                      phew.. relief.. I thought some one had dropped an acid tab in ya coffee...

                    • Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose)

                      Lovely flow to your words 🙂
