Ancient Night


you bless my soul
with the magic fragrance
of your sweetness
as the heart sings of love
i open
the naked fruit of desire
in the defining
moment of passion
feeding my longing
and changing
your lonely
life for good
i settle for the soothing diet
of love
and laughter
i sink deeply
into the secret heart of poetry
tasting the dream
the sound of ancient night
