Red Sky @ Night

I fell like the sun when I heard your delicate voice reciting love poetry  
With words your quill etched into the frozen orb walled up inside me  
My soul enchanted by the flow of tsunamic waves within your verse  
Then bedazzled by your spoken dance, if not so pure would be a curse  
Tonight's delighted sky reveals how our hearts beat in harmonic resonance  
So hold my hand to fly as one into the flames of our blazing renaissance  

Soaring to new heights together, unfurled colors explode across the sky  
Lighting up the nighttime heavens where eternal darkness goes to die  
Fading behind rising constellations drawing pictures of deities at play  
Pouring your Big Dipper into the galaxy of my spilling Milky Way  
How I long to create our song, laying naked in each other's arms  
Blending our hearts and moons and stars in a bowl of Lucky Charms  
 
Scenes I dream between the sheets of paper filled with rhymes of yours and mine  
Of thought forming more than fantasy spilled in imagery within a poet's mind  
Would I be stepping over an unspoken line drawn in the sands on a beach  
Where castles of imagination are beyond a minstrel's clandestine reach?  
Could there be a shoreline where dawn's red skies are not a sailor's warning  
And delicious treats beneath starry skies foreshadow a good-morning?  
 
I spread my wings when I sensed the heat from your glowing comet's trail  
Once again I spied the fluttering feathers on the tip of your scarlet tail  
I crave the tickle you place upon my nose with your rustic fluffy muff  
And the scent of warm bread spread with strawberry jam and marshmallow fluff  
How pleased I'd be to drink the sweet and salty elixir flowing from your holy grail  
When the pleasure I gift you with unfurls your folds into a crafty silken sail  
 
Would you then return the winds to blow me into a sea of ecstasy?  
Where I would swim the ocean blue and surf the waves of your red-sea  
Under the cloak of night you read to me to guide me to your hidden lair  
Wantonly displaying my ascending crest to let you know I'm almost there  
Then drizzle upon the pointed tips of your soft white chocolate kisses  
With warm French-vanilla cream to satisfy your shooting starlight wishes  
 
Filling my mind's eye with dark stars exposes your beguiling specter  
Unquenched until drowned in a flood of honey laced natural nectar  
The warmth of passion quickly comes as you erupt in blissful chirrup  
A flood pours from your royal chalice into this pawn's old wooden cup  
Nourishing my parched heart that could not flow with the ink of poetry  
Until it spilled upon your parchment in the hue of pink sky harmony  
 
With the full moon setting on my pillow just before the crack of dawn  
Diamonds and rubies sparkled 'round the rim of your queenly golden crown  
Kissing your icy peaks until they melt into a refreshing mountain dew  
As you spread your feathered wings and I came to rest on top a glistening hillside
When the morning star arose the phantom vultures had all finally been laid to rest  
While lyrics of the lovebirds song hum in the wind while we happily build our nest
