In The Shadow of a Dying Light

In the shadow of a dying light
The silence echoes coming night
*
Soft hazed that golden end of day
The dusky beckon of your eyes
Which in delicious temptation say
No less the fires which burn in mine

Speak soft
Whispered heaven to my lips
Cupped within the sweet wine of thine
That I might drink the fervent truth of this
For what is love save to fall in bliss

Like breath sweet shared within a kiss

The nimbus effulgent lingering
In lips slow parting hover near
In moment framed too real
Unacted
Uncomposed
The chasm yawns, begs the heart to cross

Ah, whence comes the night
And you like velvet
Cover me
