Sun sets

in gold and blues,

promising tomorrow

will come true.

Memories linger

of hours passed.

Crimson hues

our shadows cast.

Eyes of blue,

sun kissed skin.

Lips like wine

as night begins.

Sun bestows

its final wink.

Surf recedes in

shades of pink.

Mandolin cries

faint and low.

A warm embrace,

a song we know.

Rest your head,

holding tight.

Moving as one

by candle light.

Bodies sway

with gentle sighs.

Reflections play

in loving eyes.

Like petaled stem

from virgin seed.

A soft caress

like summer’s breeze.

Against the walls

and window panes,

our shadows play

like summer rain.

Evening passes,

music fades.

Candle dims,

moon invades.

Filling within

our hearts and minds,

like love one feels

or hopes to find.

Now an evening’s kiss

is on our lips.

An evening’s dance

to reminisce.

You whisper soft,

as you take my hand.

Was it all a dream

in the evening sand.

The promises made,

not in haste.

Sweet thoughts of you

like honeys taste.

Between the moon

And morning light,

You take me slowly,

holding tight

Simple pleasures

as if new.

Bodies one...

but born as two.

Like starlight wink,

high aloft.

Your warm whispers,

Low and soft.

It seems to say

without sound,

Feelings true

will abound.

Things we feel,

things we see

make these lover’s

hearts believe,

In things not heard

in things not seen,

in simple love

And simple dreams.
