lullaby

I sit
alone
and yet I sense
your presence far away
the pounding
of my heart
to you it speaks
this day
of love and lazy afternoons
colors paint the sky

the night
is ours
you fill my thoughts
in dreams you fill my arms
so sweet the sight
of fiery hair
of eyes so deep
and fingers long
your breath
and sighs
upon my chest
a soothing
lullaby

      Thank you, Cesar. I enjoyed your post “A Victory for Common Sense.” Common sense hasn’t made the news much lately.

    This is a wonderful poem! But I have to ask, is that a real fairy?

    :)

      Yes it is. I found the image on the internet, so it must be real.
