The trees are there in the dark.
They tease and deceive me.
Weaving their jaded filigree against the night sky.
Leading me off and away in their rock and sway
to forget where I belong.
Lost in the song of wind in the trees,
needing to be found among the intricacies
of branch and bough – needing to find you lover,
to be found: if you open your arms, if your lips
part once more to capture my breath, then lover
I will be lost, lost to you and undeceived.
Come to the window at dVerse
Jade and Filigree

Something about a dense forest…one doesn’t see very far…being found,though would be very nice

Nothing finer than a tree, imho. I can easily get lost in their embrace and voice. And to be found and undeceived.. a lot said in such short verse.

like a dense forest, a relationship can be quite intimidating… If you have the courage to step in & look passed all the scary things that could be… it’s well worth the venture. great write
