#RomanticTuesday #LovePoems- Your Aura Singing

[image error]

.

The Soft brush of Your Hands

Upon my skin

Warm Temptation

Shivering in

Delicious Sighs

of Mutual Blush

Spinning us

In a Dizzying Rush

The Lightest Whisper of Your Voice

Beguiling Sentiment

Dulcet Choice

Close beside me

Your Aura Singing

Sweetest Pleasure Ever Bringing

The Gentlest Kiss of Your Smiling Lips

Honeyed Enticement

Tenderly Slips

Embrace of Hours

With Passion Springing

Enchantment Together

While Your Aura is Singing!

#RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry – One Lingering Moment

[image error]

.

When Tapestry spills like a Velvet Ribbon of Light

Condensing into the Space of Time yet Standing between Us,

And Caresses my Spirit with its Gentlest Hand,

Then my Heart Knows Purest Contentment

In this world of Harsh Reality,

Then my Spirit Sighs for Sweetest Delight,

In One Lingering Moment

That Stretches out its hand into the Darkness Obscuring my Sight,

Emblazoning my mind with Rapturous thoughts of You,

My Sweetest One,

My Most Precious Love,

My All.

If you’ve ever wondered what I listen to when writing, here’s some Music that helped Inspire the writing of Dark Fey

(Thanks to Richard Ankers for introducing me to this Fabulous group!!)

.

Turning the shadowy corner, she thought to press on, in spite of the many Legionnaires filling the encampment; crowding round its many sulfur braziers with faces half-covered to protect themselves from the malodorous fumes while hoping to extract some measure of warmth from the ineffectual fires.  Disguised beneath the veil of bent light she had cast round herself in order to traverse the dangerous avenues of the Uunglarda unseen, Ilys stepped onward lightly without a sound or any indication of her presence; yet as she came to the end of the street, where a black tent marked the Centurion’s quarters,  a Legionnaire in crimson leather strode purposefully into the middle of the street, stopped directly in her path, and glared at her.

She froze; catching her breath and refusing to breathe so not to give herself away as her mind spun, seeking some means of escape.  She remained invisible behind the ripple of light she bent round herself, but his crimson stare pierced into her from beneath a broad, brown leather bandana, which kept his shoulder-length, jet black hair from falling into his eyes.  In the mustiness and reek of the Bathracht encampment, he had turned the collar of his coat up and had cinched it tightly to avert some measure of the noxious fumes poisoning the air. He stood unmoving with his arms crossed assertively across his broad chest while, in an incongruously non-threatening gesture, his held his wings tightly folded behind him.

Hesitating long enough to make it clear that he was aware of her, regardless of her invisible guise; he stared at her fixedly and his crimson gaze sent a shiver through her.  Memory served her well, but in a realm where nearly all the inhabitants had blood-hued eyes, she could not distinguish him from the many other Legionnaires that had, at one time or another since her Integration, used her for sport or had been forced to do so.  Fear blended with anger that mixed with hatred within her, boiling into a rage that was nearly uncontrollable; still, she was not foolish enough to think she would be capable of injuring a Demonfey who towered nearly fourteen inches over her and whose physique boasted unmistakably of his strength.

“Yes, I can see you.”  His voice was little more than a hoarse whisper, but it sent a shudder through her that made her teeth chatter…..

Inexpressible – #RomanticTuesday #LovePoem

[image error]

.

There is no Fair Expression my Love can take,

Which would adequately Reveal

The Depths of my Love for You;

For even as Time itself is ever –present

Yet intangible,

My love for You, as Sweet as Breath,

Is Inexpressible.

#RomanticTuesday #Love #Poetry – Amidst the Candlelight

[image error]

Hush

In the Restless Tide of Night

Brush

My cheek with Your Fervent Kiss’s Delight

Sigh

In Love’s most Passionate Devotion

Lie

Beside me in the Shifting Shadows Deep Ocean

Entrance

Me with Your Ardent Love’s Chivalry

Romance

Me Until Time Slips into Eternity

For Only Then

And Only There

Amidst the Blush of sweet Candlelight

Shall we Find the Pure Contentment

Of Delicate Night
