THROUGH THE NIGHT (2)

Michael Edwards

 

 

THROUGH THE NIGHT 

 

Through the night

within the room in which they stayed

through the night.

The candles shed their shifting light

upon the bed in which they laid

as curtains by the window swayed

through the night.

 

Through the night

upon his chest her long black hair.

Through the night

as candles shed their shifting light

consumed by love they sought to share

in ecstasy in passions snare

through the night.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Well here it is. I've added another stanza especially for those who asked for it. I've also slightly altered the first one so it flows with the second and to keep it more strictly to the rondelet format. Let me know what you think. ................ The painting is of a village called Saddington and was bought by someone in the States who has the same surname.

        I was there well over 30 yrs ago with my father looking for antiques like we used to. he is an avid collector so we travelled everywhere back then. today we have computers but you can't beat the human eye for examination. your paintings are also awesome.

            Smoothly and gently romantic - you have chose a good style for tender erotica Michael. - Great picture too.

              thank you Fay - will have to put on my thinking cap if I am asked to write another verse - this could go on forever - up to geriatrics? 🙂
