Analysis of Nights with you

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



A warm embrace. 

Passionate kisses placed,  

Where a man cannot resist.

Thoughts vanish between us
As bodies hum then sing,

Our dance ensues
amidst the pleasure of the moment  

As destiny awakens
an unseen distant calling 

Swayed by subtle shifts in gravity
between planets
using calculus applied to our interactions  

Lights a path we have no recourse, but follow  

Then too, there’s you…
captivating eyes
which illuminate in dark surroundings 

Pull at the core of my heart 

ways i cannot ignore
Paired with the most heartfelt desire,

thus inclined i find myself falling in love with you.

Thoughts lit by candlelight and wine.  

Speaking in an angelic voice.

You capture the moment.
Focus my attentions

by the most beautiful mind,
bringing meaning filled expressions 
Bend space/time.

Seems, our dreams meet our memories.
 Perfectly balanced
reaching through our souls.

Find our hearts, eager, able,
willing to explore

Souls tempered by trials
and the capacity to endure

What treasures we create
expressions purely of loving,
sentient beings

Which are
A calling from the unborn
To us

For assistance
in preparation to ride
On the next wave in the flow

To build further upon the foundation
Promise of the Creators wish 

 Feelings beyond words… 
Carry weight of unborn generations 
Just as surely as rains fall 

Stir in thy womb
Mother of unfolding creation,  

Feeling
an instantaneous connection

These nights with you

Alter my perception
