Lesbian Poetry

Hush Now Child

oh queen of light and laundress of

my soul... delight in

heaven's whisper, breezes flow

o'er her breast and round her hips

hush now, her words tingle,

soft and low,

hush now child, i can not hear you

anymore...

eye's delight, her hair as long

and cultured cheeks, a rose's bloom

echoed lilting notes afire

remembrance love in secret rooms

in hearts alone, sacred fire

rooms in secret morning light

her breath comes soft and

sweet and soft and pure...

peace reigns there

on her brow, and on her breast

as lips whisper, soft

hush now child, hush now

child,

i can not hear you


anymore...



i can not hear




you





anymore...
