Sunlight flows sumptuously into the room, Gently prising open the window with nonchalant power, Pooling richly against the bed Where you lay Bathed in gilded fire, More real than a dream, More ethereal than real, An angel captured for one silken moment In the eyes and mind of my devotion. Rich golden afternoon sun Traces lazy whorls in faint motes Until at last it rests on you. Your tanned skin drinks in the sunlight, Desert thirst pulling the essence from the fire, Consumed, subsumed, elemental force, Gathered beneath your skin Glowing within you Burning in my sight. Sunlight traces golden filigree of your hair As it cascades in softly contoured waves Across the warmth of you Sunlight picks out your shape As you move languidly Restrained, yet dangerous, suzerain, Feline stealth, Tawny lioness, Towards me. I am lost in the golden afternoon light Drowning in your eyes, Dazed by the power of your smile Burning in your passion, your heat The nearness of you. As once you consumed the light of sun and stars To feed your inner golden glow, You consume me, Make me part of you. Copyright soulsease 1999 |
