whisper
Half moons sharpened edge of clarity
sliding like a scimitar,
beyond the curve
of this palest wash of blue.
How the last look lingers
on the face I cannot see,
shining in another's night.
Where love lies languorous
sleeping,
bathing on a bed
beneath a window.
Kiss her softly
on the cheek for me,
lay my dreams upon her pillow,
whisper to her
my name.
sliding like a scimitar,
beyond the curve
of this palest wash of blue.
How the last look lingers
on the face I cannot see,
shining in another's night.
Where love lies languorous
sleeping,
bathing on a bed
beneath a window.
Kiss her softly
on the cheek for me,
lay my dreams upon her pillow,
whisper to her
my name.
