Togetherness
In the twilight hour we are by the window,
open to the hues of the fading horizon,
and to the breeze of the departing day,
see the sky shimmer with the last glow
of the setting sun at the edge of night.
Its cascading torrent of flare floods your face,
flushing still with the touch of belonging,
we carried together this far in entwined hearts.
We haven’t counted the steps on the sands of time,
but the frilled footprints I see etched in mind,
yours beside mine, pacing all the way side by side,
where we are now in the serene shade of sated time.
Sparkling streams of amorous moonbeam
surge with azure momentum of ardent fervor
through the window we keep open to the sky,
spread mystique tapestry of trance on your eyes,
where I see a seamless sea form for me
to sail across the ebullient tides of time,
reach the distant shore suffused with your scent,
where my first red rose to you kissed your lilac lips,
and we made demure dreams of togetherness.
The dreams brought us to where we are now
in the lengthening shadow of lingering yearning.
