Analysis of On Wings/Night Wings
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
i spread my wings into the night
to swiftly fly on beams of light.
Bathing in the echoes of spiritual pools,
touching as with oceans of starlight
My love
there's something i really must confess
in your presence
with softly spoken expressions
of warmth and compassion
in acknowledgement
Of a friendship which to me reveals
A great deal more good-natured concern,
Faithful strivings and fond remembrances
With a smile playing ever within your eyes
Even thru tears, joy and pain
With tenderness to grow
you walk into my life
each time when we meet
a surge of energy flows
Casting a signal fever passion
to sail beneath a sigh
Your kiss sets my trembling heart
Aflame
with a happiness
Which endures the day-to-day hardship
Unabated,
boiling over with the urge to love
Effortlessly and explosively
Unbound by the restrictions
of time/space perceptions
…asking, if you have ever
Found yourself upon the verge of inclination
absolutely tantalized
Helplessly fevered by the touch
At total depth of soul sensation
wondering if it will require
more than 80 kilocalories of pure emotion
to melt a block of ice
You are something special
of wonder and delight
Building with each moment more,
Expansions thru the spectrum of sensuality
With fragrances and pleasurable moods
As your spiritual flower blooms
In aura surroundings…
as our spirit soul arises
Dawning anew within …this universe
Upon a course unbound and true
In favor of a fellowship
which in itself
Is love
