Poem Commentary

IF YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS FEELING, I AM SAD FOR YOU. IF YOU HAVE, THEN YOU KNOW. THANKS. ROSE.

PRELUDE TO SLEEP

In the waning hours of day, in the dusky twilight dim

After days mad disarray, I lean lovingly on him.

As the setting sun is casting flames of umber on the clouds

A love everlasting, sweetly slumbers, soft and proud.

 

“Speak aloud what's in your heart” my weary mind cries out

But love, more so than any art, requires time and care to sprout.

So in his arms I safely rest,inhaling deep, his manly essence

Strong fingers gently cup my breasts, night falls in luminescence.

 

His eyes seek mine in hopes to find what they are longing for;

Lips warmed by wine are thus entwined, spirits begin to fly then soar.

In this gloaming, two hearts roaming,as the twilight softly creeps.
Ocean waves in sands are combing while the surf is gently foaming

 

Two souls entwined, meshed so deep, as to make the angels weep

In nightly fashion, igniting passions in this,a lovers prelude to sleep.

This is beautiful, Rose... there's nothing more satisfying than giving in to the sandman while wrapped in your lover's arms... BRAVO!

Wow, that was great! You should read one of mine called Waking Thoughts. It's sort of the morning version of this.

Thanks again Dumplin!! I truly appreciate your feedback, it inspires me very much! Love, Rose. :)

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
