Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 63. Midwinter Night's Dreams

Two visions from the cold January nights. As is invariably the case, all the errors you can find are mine.

Of the Earth

 
Sleep, earth and dream
while in your deep white blanket wrapped
and candles gleam
'cross drifts with which the world is mapped
where autumn's secrets sere lie trapped.
 
Brief was rest snapped
by fretful yearnings in the breeze
which held enrapt
creation by the weather's tease,
false promises of warmth and ease.
 
For thus we freeze;
while slumber claims each breath and sigh,
comes through the trees
such cold from latitudes most high
as stills the mind when it draws nigh.
 
Speed quickly by
your silent song with Morphic theme;
greet sun and sky;
and slide chill sheets from lea and stream
your vernal visions to redeem.
 
 
Of Him
 

My gentle sweet

who breathes the joy of promised dawn

beneath the sheet

where from his frame were pleasures drawn

while Sagittarius looked on;

 

Ere night be gone

I shall awaken him once more,

his broken yawn

foreshortened by my kisses four

and touches that he can't ignore;

 

I shall implore

his arms my body to embrace

in love's encore

that ardent lips my skin might grace

so parting’s pain they might efface;

 

Hence will I trace

the pathway to his pleasure’s seat

and sleep replace

with whispers in the rising heat

until our senses lie replete.

Any comments or remarks are welcome. I value anything you might have to say.
