BEYOND NIGHTFALL

Unfathomable depth
Intuition undefined
Elusive this creature
You seek to control

Impossible to tame
Unyielding
Even to one's own fame
Breaking through the sterile limits

No understanding greater
Than from the same
Unending encompassed compassion
Seeking truth from within

Searing into the eyes
Of an authentic woman
Scars and all
Nothing defines or defies

Speaking so softly
Commanding the respect
Reserved for so few
Only breathing the depth
Into another day and night

Instinctually knowing
All that it will take
Enrobing her beloved
Within the purest safety

Light shining brightly
Through the window of dawn
Seeking continued beyond nightfall
So little time to accomplish
Lofty goals aimed from within

Drawn into the limelight
Only to retreat again
Into the comfort of night
Enfolded into the rapture
Fulfilling lavender dreams clandestinely
Forever touching the soul of the moment
