Love's Brightness is You

By: Ciara Rose Dominguez

I reach for you, call to you
As the darkness wraps it's charcoal coat
Silently around the sleeping streets
To bid you goodnight, sweet dreams

The soft padding of tom cat's feet
The sickle shaped moon
The stars cast like brilliant diamonds
Upon an indigo sky
The rush of bat's wings
Children's laughter rising like fairies
Into the night

These things flood my heart
With thoughts of you
Alluring, sensual, deep and joyful
As the night's magic
Into the night there comes brightness
Loves luminosity shines in my core
Love's brightness is you

Even today as I watched you part from me
I longed for that kiss, those eyes that I adore
Your lips
Remain tonight
Passionately pressed onto my soul
