The dying blush of love

Today inside the quietness of my heart

Love songs played

Their sweet refrain

Lilting my hungry soul to uplift

On skyward bound

Wings of joy

Giving awakened flight

To the birth of precious delights

Arising at the thought of you

Are you dreaming of me

As I am

Dreaming of you?

Here within the silence

Rush of adrenaline in my heart

Reminds me of lover’s flush

Breaking out on skin

Still singing with the memory

Of the loved one’s touch

Our soul’s dear kin

Oh to have you near

To feel your breath as it travelled

Across the surface of my skin

As we lay all entangled

Sighing in long exhales

the final refrains

Of these sweet songs of love

Then as clouds begin

To cover the sun

The dying blush of love

Fades

Leaving two bodies

Lying limbs all akimber

Sleepy with the growing dusk

Savouring the memory of

Love songs

Our bodies sang

to each other

gently illuminated by the dying shadows

Of sunset’s blush
