~~ Moonlight Dreams ~~ Poem by Mari Martin

Soft light shimmers on the darkened walls.
White iridescent streams of brightness
cascade across the bed
blending with the shadows.

A calm surrounds me
wandering in and out of my thoughts.
Drifting memories within my heart
caress the emotions surging through me
joining to create a myriad of feelings
that course through my body.

The reflections of shimmering opal
cast across the ceiling
dance like lovers
experiencing ecstasy for the first time
as their bodies meet in quiet passions.

I feel the urgency of their touches,
the fires that peak and ripple
with each passing of their hands
across skin unfamiliar
but desired above all else.

There is a music here,
a melody heard in the depths of my heart.
It's haunting notes played on a magical harp
in a symphony written for Lovers.

I can feel you
in the music
in the streaming opal light
of the moonlight dreams
that find me wishing you were here.
