Treading Softness

" "

Enslaved by a heresy of dreams
Rivers of lethe run upwards
Into a star bejeweled night
As streams of love
Meander through my soul

I think the world is splendid
With the lightness of your touch
By the softness of your lips
The dawn breaks, the sun
Climbs out of the slumbrous night

My longing seeks to reach
Those starry regions, those dazzling stars
And the throbbing of my passion
Seeks to reach those heights

Where lovers kiss, and the world
Fades away into nothingness
Where hours pass like minutes
And minutes pass like days
Into the shadowless planes of ecstacy

Ron that opening stanza is pure genious (and the rest isn't too far behind!)
"Where hours pass like minutes
And minutes pass like days" <== these lines sealed this piece for me, brilliant! Mal.

"Softness" befits this piece, Ron, like an adult lullaby. Very nice.

Climbs out of the slumbrous night <--- My God Ron you are a true poet. What woman would not long to have such beautiful words written for her. A truly special poem...Ty, Dani
