The Hours of the Night

~The Hours of the Night

I have marked our love by the hours of this night.
First moments, first hours, new hope, beating hearts,
Of kisses, embraces, new memories; new love.
A scarlet sunset, crimson sun, red is the colour of our love.

Velvet midnight, candlelight love,
A turning to passion, hidden from the day,
Heated kisses and fiery embraces;
Blue, midnight blue, finds the passion of our love.

Not yet day, a pale dawn afar,
Sleepy embraces and slow, knowing smiles.
The day will find me asleep in your arms,
No longer alone, my soul has grown, embracing you.
Light, pale morning light, the colour of two.

The midnight passion and dawning love,
Tested by light and the knowing of day.
Will our midnight love, our finding in the dark,
Still ring, still live, still grow under the sun?
O dear, o sweet, o lover mine,
By the way, what was your name?
