Indigo

Come my love    
Sit with me as day draws down
And await the freshening of the evening breeze    
As day breathes its last faint breath    
Almost a sigh  
Before slipping into night    
 
Out in the yard    
In the stillness  
As the fireflies come out  
To dance above the clover  
Let me read to you Neruda, Rilke  
And the poets  
As bear such quiet hours well  
With words I wish had been my own  
Let me read them with my voice    
As if they were -  
Words you have longed for  
And meant for your heart alone  
   
Snuggle in  
And while away the hours  
As stars appear    
And wishes are made in silence  
For mine need no telling  
As my fingertips trace your face  
Your lips  
The tree tops long since faded from the last of golden light  
To deep shadowed silhouettes    
Framing indigo sky  
So like kisses  
Scattered  
Random at the needing  
Deepening as kisses do  
Your body melting into mine
