A cup for a winter's night

Heart of Light, ©YiotaKarioti2015

Brew me a cup for a winter's night.

For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;

Spice it with love and stir it with care,

And I'll toast our bright eyes,

my sweetheart fair.

~ Minna Thomas Antrim.

Glowing

shimmering kisses

this love vibrates in deep waves

glowing

Soliloquy under the stars

©Luyuphotography2015

swimming into a river of words

the moon slowly slips from the sky

and ejects my longing

straight into this mercurial night

It is not the stars nor the moon

that hold my thoughts captive

nor the galaxy that flows silent

filling my heart with a soft sweetness

dripping

distant and pale

like your arms around me when you sleep

You wonder if i love you 

you could just ask me  - when the stars were born?

the echo in my eyes would be the right answer

It is not the stars, my love

it is not the agony of being human

nor the pain of not being just the morning dew

nor the question what is the color of my heart

It is only me feeling small

almost transparent like a nocturnal crystal butterfly

fluttering inside your dreams

breathing in a distant constellation 

You wonder if I love you

I melt across the  horizon

giving you the answer

It is only me, 

feeling small...  

We all become small under the stars

White and Pure...

 white and pure
scented memory of your kiss
under the jasmine
it stays and dies between my lips
just to be born again inside my dream

The Heart yearns for Love

©luyuphotography2014

The Heart yearns for Love

and the moment of the burning

behind the eye of God

I was born with that truth

planted inside my breasts

under a sympathetic star

that leaned over me gently

across the interplanetary distance

Then Time made it bloom

like a rose tree in an everlasting Spring

and I became Love

and I became Magic

You don't need to do anything more

than to catch me

or break me in two

and keep the part that writes your name

in golden stardust  and  teardrops

I give shape to your Night

with the warm glow of my of lips

writing  a spell across your yearning flesh

singing in an ancient rhythm 

Gently I sacrifice a part of my darkness

to give you the light of my desire

that magic moment

when i enter your dream

a chrysalis  inside a rose caught into a spider's web

 the sacred moment 

when you open your eyes

when the sound of our blood 

that swirls and swirls as the hearts unite

falls gently until my heartbeat 

is only yours

making the silence so full of stars  

when you spell word by word over my lips

the meaning of this world...

O my Luve's like a red, red rose - Robbie Burns

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

Bee Love

Soul glowing

© luyuphotography2013

your caresses still linger

over my skin

deep into my night

floating into your arms

my soul is glowing... 

Joy

bright autumn light

the road runs through the mountains

my thoughts dressed in gold

November ends

November ends

the remains of an unfinished kiss - 
on a shining leaf 

Love Song by William Carlos Williams

I lie here thinking of you:—

the stain of love

is upon the world!

Yellow, yellow, yellow

it eats into the leaves,

smears with saffron

the horned branches that lean

heavily

against a smooth purple sky!

There is no light

only a honey-thick stain

that drips from leaf to leaf

and limb to limb

spoiling the colors

of the whole world—

you far off there under

the wine-red selvage of the west!

"... So it begins. The first time, when your eyes, blue and vast and warm like summer lakes, start to explore my face. To slide slowly over my eyebrow, my eyes, my cheeks... caressing my lips. I feel lost inside that one first look, naked under the light of your thoughts. They are so clear, i can almost touch them, i can almost hear their crystal sound echoing inside me. I feel like an unknown land. A terra incognita. Every inch of my body yearns to be explored...and the dry earth of my soul shivers in secret wanting of your Love... Soon, i know, you will hold my clouds inside your warm palm...And soon, my heart will bloom in one thousand rainbows reflecting your eyes..."

Evening sky

Iridescent

I long for you

my iridescent dreams floating

under a seagul's wings

Rosy fingered dawn...

Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Ramakrishna 

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.
Emily Dickinson 

The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless; love is eternal.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 

Flowing

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow...
