Dawnshine
Between the calms and in the depths of the night
Soft Elysia of your face is still within the moonlight
Zephyr’s cool breath blows through your wavy hair
Thus the moment, the beauty of you catches me unaware
Of all that is about you -- the glow of crystalline in your eye
The soft arched nature of your face like a beacon against the evening
And that pause between the two petals of lips that parts to sigh
The rest that sings before the petals move to dawnshine, sparkling and gleaming
The ebon separates and Apollo shines over your mouth
Upturned in the perfect smile, the crystalline reflected in your eyes brought
A smile to my own, admiring the beauteous dawnshine of your face
How could I deny all that you are within the moments of your smiles encased
When it is yours I long to kiss and admire next to my own
Opening hazel pupils to the image of you bathed in the dawnglow
And seeing tiny diamonds dancing in your eyes like falling stars flown
Whispering words your lips cannot speak, truthful, loving and slow _________________ “It would be a pity of lesbians and gay men retreated into the same kind of cultural separatism. " - Jeanette Winterson

Thank you Cat, although I personally think I could have done a lot better - I couldn't quite capture the dawnshine of her smile as well as in real life. _________________ “It would be a pity of lesbians and gay men retreated into the same kind of cultural separatism. " - Jeanette Winterson
