Love Poem: Come Share My Night

Come Share My Night

Come share my night for it is you
that ignites my soul, let not a ray
of Sun impede the covered windows
there

For it is the darkness I have learned
to love, only the stars and the Moon
may enter here

Leaving the many shadowed silhouettes
dancing on the walls like so many embers
flying upward as if they were fingers grasping
ever higher with there own hidden purpose

Everything seems perfect now somehow
the imperfections of the day are lost
in the deep dark coolness of the night 

Crying can be heard but not seen
Portraits are there but only traces
may be noticed

Even the crystal prisms colorless
by day take on an array of amber
hues as the evening breeze brushes
against them

The fireplace mirrored in the crystals
explode with vibrant color that reaches
out from the darkness with welcomed
emotion

Here in this darkened velvet place
I am young again, there is no sadness
written on my face

What was is now gone and I become
a part of the ritual of the night bathed
only in star light
