The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Rest

Christened hue in gentle bath 
Rises immersing so softly covering 
Naked bones laid under veil 
Rinsing in dignity's silent wash. 

Crimson blush on tender face 
Surrenders tired flush tearing 
Stripped moans settle to cheek 
Cooling to sleep's merciful peace. 

Clammered shudders fall soothed 
Fevered struggle subsides 
Heart's thunder rolls remembered 
Flesh breathes a dawning sigh. 

Golden shine from silent dream 
Dancing snores upon the sheets 
Muscles turn upon moon wash 
Rising in caverns of fanciful dim. 

Gentle bath in royal cover 
Scarlet rush on tender heals 
Dawn's nude beams revealing 
Strengthened in morning's first stir.
