Lithely
by Maria Massarella
when in dream you
ride the breath of love
creative essence
enflames my ink would
word the world aglow
poeticize how
with lunalight you
tress my hair - kiss
mysticness to eye
passions piano ever
aplay
I need leave
were I to stay
words could fall
ambrosian - oh
and what would
night say when
shedded the veils
your fingers of light
waltz my nakedness
there to where lithe
the spirit ever
sublimes the
need to remain
oh
were my timelessness
one with yours
I would not be dancing
alone
