Night’s Tender Kiss

your northern smile embraces—  

shining stars in the dimming sky  

sparkles burst and pierce me  

such brightness lightens my load  

another day closes, sun sleeps  

another night begins, stars keep  

a hope of us together one day  

across an ocean—now divides us  

beneath night-blooming jasmine’s scent  

steps hasten, screen door bangs  

my chin lifts, eyes peering deep  

this night is your day, my sweet  

slumber with fondest thoughts  

our souls’ yearning tendrils curl  

around a distant moonbeam’s glow.
