Breath Of Crimson Sunset

Soft velvet shadows cast,
Is this life, or is it death?
This shimmering veil
Of flickering candle,
A whispered breath of crimson sunset.

Upon a thought my dreams did rest,
As the cooler air of darkness crept,
The night did seep,
Silent and deep,
Within a moonlit caress.

I saw you watching me
From the edge of infinity,
From a cornered glance,
I read romance,
From the prose of cool summer breeze.

I tasted the warm softness of your lips,
Felt your caressing fingertips,
I felt allured,
Within your power,
The power of a tender kiss.

We chased rainbows in the dead of night,
Licked by flickering candlelight,
Floating through mists,
Of swirling twists,
Blurred in ecstatic delight.

I felt furled in your embrace,
I felt our spirits rise,
To fly, to soar
Away, forevermore,
In the blush of morning sunrise.

Lay once more within my arms,
Oh how I long for your return,
On a peaceful breath
Of crimson sunset,
Within the memory of a silken dream.
