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.
