The night draws moments upon my flesh
as I lie breathless beneath the cold moon,
searching for warmth in your eyes.
Desires burn every fibre of my being
I am lost in my yearning of you,
greeting the season with a half-smile.
Sunshine soft spreads over startling sky
as poems one after another make their
way onto virgin sheet of paper.

Sanaa, I was not startled in the least to read your poem using the first 4 Different words from the others. Hooray. I can count on you to bring the passion to the paper. Virgin paper is all the more tantalizing, and I love “Sunshine soft spreads over startling sky…as poem…”

Ha. Me thinks there is a bit more going on here.
Though I will say, it is a marvelous thing when the poems really get to flowing.
I think in the end, they make that sheet a bit more.
And I hope that is no lie.
Fun play in the title too, It made me look further.
Good to see you as well.
