Love Letters Beneath the Moonlight - a Collaboration With Frederic Parker
My love for you
is beyond prophecy or endowment
and lay before you a love letter from the heart
beneath the moonlight's glow
where our eyes find a silent understanding
that embraces each passionate emotion
swirling and entwined in the depth of love
where our souls surrender to ardent desire
in an enchanted beguiling captivity
of lush landscapes and serene gentleness in starlight
as we imagine a wondrous bastion
that offers a sanctuary of serenity
filled with warmth that trembles the tender skin
when we look deeper into the eyes
and find honeyed dreams dressed in blooming blossoms
of fragrant fantasy
we become prisoners lost in soft braille moments
with each kiss
that invites our souls to wander
through warm sensual sensations of sharing
where life reveals its emotional tendrils
that wrap around the space between
and pulls us into a world of sublime bewilderment
ah yes.. the dazzling gleam of love’s glow –
once inscribed upon the skies…
for was it not scribed before the time
our hearts were born these beating drums —
in the smattering of stars
etched for eons too dim
for naked eyes to scrutinize..
until fragments of sparkle
implanted their verse within mortal marrow..
a sweetheart song
golden till all tomorrow's cease to dawn
and the heartstrings of our lyre cease to strum
as my sonnet song is sung?
indeed.. mere words hold no light
in the depths of the universe away from the sun
but harnessed in the hold of our heat
the moon ignites the dark..
and by the light of night’s glow
we read the stars in each other’s eyes
before they close in passions’ sigh
and our bodies surrender to ardent desire
as the queenly moon
embraced by the shameless shine of the sun
weeps a cascade of moonbeams
for the beauty and wonder
of such earthly and heavenly love
overflowing the streambeds of our bounding pulse
till nothing’s left but a silvery quiver
‘pon the softened ripples…
ah, to be made for such a palpable experience —
the glory of our gratified physical skins
the embodiment of our starry fate
the bastion imagined.. now captured
in the serenity of sensuous afterglow
where we shine and twine a verdant vine
to sip from nectar’s chalice
a heady jasmine wine
pink petals and Venus sentiments
sweet the sugar on our tongues…
the taste of love’s glow
as I lay before you a love letter from the heart
