Shadow fall

WL Schuett

The night sounds 

whispered in through 

the open window 

a hurricane lamp glowed 

as she reclined in 

the dancing shadow fall 

something soft and slow 

played in the light 

and crept from the stereo 

he remembers her eyes 

though she wore 

nothing at all 

a tenderness between them 

most gentle emotion echoed 

artfully fulfilled 

the quiet pleasure of a kiss 

the record skipped 

as did his heart 

her face lit from above 

an unexpected book 

beautifully dishabilled 

to read her 

right here , right now 

lovely , warm , beautiful art

    Ah a well told tale of days gone by where tender and gentle were love's emotions while hurricane lamps sent forth a soft glow...... your words brought all this to light so clearly WL - a gem of a read.
