Dream Another Night Away #Valentine #DuetPoetry


She is in his dreams dancing lightly across his sighs

closer than a whisper warming his heart

waking his need to dance with love

they dance to the soft sounds of night

spinning with the stars above and the lights in her eyes

***

Desire awakening with each kiss

perfection in each fluid move

finding endless hope in cosmic display

lover’s plight to only meet at night

days spent dreaming of the lover missed

***

Their rival daylight

in darkness ecstasy takes flight

tantalizing essence mesmerizes and captivates

lovers intertwined in a feast of senses

exploring the infinite horizons of joy so right

***

They revel in a world never fraught with pain

seize one last lingering kiss before dawn

walking in a daze until they dream another night away

eyes close reminding him of

stormy currents turbulent plains

A smile then comes to my face

memories and more

You have each made my life full

so in my heart theres a place

to each of you love and More

  1. Both you and Sean are very well suited, I think 🙂 Great duet, really enjoyed reading it, sincere and touching in its delivery, they’re so much fun!! I think I’m addicted to them now!

    Great Tanka, and a moment to say thank you to you, and Brian, Gay, Chris, Adam, Pete Claudia and Jessie for hosting one stop. Our names would be glimmers of stardust without you.

  3. That was tantalizing. I had to read it twice, and then again. The very words themselves intertwined like lover’s limbs. It was hard to know who was who. Superb.

    And charmed by your tanka. Nice to meet you too.

    1. there was a site today that focussed on all the hurts of Valentine’s Day. That picture I took with the flowers (thrown in a pool) showed me another aspect of love the broken part – that is sadly part of love too.

      thanks Dulce you are a romantic heart as well
      hugs my dear
