Silk Dress

You wore a silk dress
Or it may have been the rain
Falling delicately upon your starlit skin
Water from the tides came in heartbeats through my veins
Pouring kisses of you like dreams lost in storms of Night
Bright were the constellations shining within
No more second guess?
How to ever love again
Perhaps someone drowned in you so long ago
Holding an eternal breath he dared
To bare his heart show how much he cared,
Fell asleep, senseless
Sleeping off regret and pain
Weaving the Light into trees growing high
Flying like whispers of worlds yet to form
Reaching for you someone sees with a sigh
Trying for answers he falls through the storm
Falling delicately upon your starlit skin
Pouring kisses of you like dreams lost within
Confusing the axis of blessing and sin
No more second guess?
You wore a silk dress
Or it may have been the rain . . .

Poetry by Chaucer Whethers
