Trace of Light Stars float in the night,Trace of Light by *Blueskye27
fires of years
millions gone by,
speak to me, they,
as small as I in this
ocean of darkness.
An illusion they,
the trace only
of their reality
do my eyes
interpret, so desperately
far, so unreachably
near, smaller than
the palm of my
hand but larger
than my world.
Yet do we both shine
in the dark, sending
our light out for
someone, anyone
to see, even
should the
trace be
all thats
left
of us.


Blue Night Skies Alone, I stand in theBlue Night Skies by *Blueskye27
cool evening air, leaning
against the slatted
fence with its peeling paint,
and watch the sky fade
into moonless night.
My favorite time of day, this -
the sun fallen away,
the stars unborn -
nothing left but
the boundless blue
unique to a night sky.
Deeper than dark water,
seductive as a lovers eyes,
it reaches for me,
caresses my tired mind
with glimpses of beauty
hidden, brushes my
waning spirit with hopes
of different tomorrows,
stokes the dying embers
of a small life into
a quiet hungering.
And in the azure
silence of twilight, I can
believe its promises.


The Real Thing I love good perfume.The Real Thing by *Blueskye27
Not the cheap stuff
that smells like little girls
but the real thing
that only a woman
worth knowing
can pull off.
When its scent
slides down
my throat like
a lover's lips
I feel
beautiful
feminine
sensual
so I touch myself
with fragrance
every night
before bed
and I become
a woman
worth knowing
even if no one
notices
but me.
