"The Poet in Darkness"

"The Poet in Darkness"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr. MD

I

The light touch of her fingertips

Sending shivers down my spine

I can't believe this is happening

I can't believe that she is mine

II

Hidden by the candlelight

I give out a sigh

Alone in this darkness

I claim you as mine

III

I glimpse you as you move

A poem I wrote in a mood

Even in the darkness you dazzle

I am engulfed by your every move

IV

The slight trembling of your lips

Your eyelashes flicker

The soft moans of the moments

as our night gets deeper and deeper.

V

Spent in this darkness

with the warmth of your breathe

I blow out the candle

And not want for the day.
