Whispered Words Poem by Fidel Arcenas

From our porch
By the beach
We watch
Our emerald-anniversary sun
slowly

at the divide of sea and sky

Your shaking hand
Tightens on mine
I look into your eyes

You smile
I understand

At the peak
Of our years I said

Your serene beauty
Flutters gracefully
Waking up my ecstasy
You are sky to me

You replied

You excite me
With waves of joy,
Fulfill my widest fantasy
You are my sea

Now
As twilight unveils
Our emeral moon
You kiss my cheek softly

You whisper
'Forever'

I nod
You smile
We understand

Soon
Our gasps
Will end

Yet our love
Shall remain
As bright as the sun
As full as the moon

And our kiss
Shall fill the heavens
With s t a r s
