Night of Love

Night of Love

Make love to me just one more time
Before the night is through,
And I will be your love divine;
Forever pure and true.

Let your lips dance over mine
As ballet dancers do.
Then lace me with a love so fine,
As only you could do.

Let our spirits drink the wine
Desire misconstrues.
Forever, then, our hearts will shine
Just like the morning dew.

In Dreams

In Dreams

If only I could fall asleep,
I could look upon your face.
If only I could fall asleep,
You could hold me in my place.

If only I could fall asleep,
I would lay safe in your arms.
If only I could fall asleep,
I’d be lost to all your charms.

If only I could fall asleep,
I could taste the sweetest kiss.
If only I could fall asleep,
I’d be in total bliss.

If only I could fall asleep,
I’d feel your heart beat next to mine.
If only I could fall asleep,
All that’s wrong with the world would be fine.

If only I could fall asleep,
We two would be in love.
If only I could fall asleep,
Perhaps they’d answer my prayers above.

Night Vision

Night Vision

Make love to me just one last time,
Before this dream must end.
Make love to me just one last time.
Give my heart the chance to mend.

Kiss my lips before I wake.
Let me hear your gentle sighs.
Kiss my lips before I wake.
The sunrise is drawing nigh.

Let fingertips dance over my skin,
Before I must open my eyes.
Let fingertips dance over my skin,
Before I realize it is only lies.

Move with me in each caress,
Before I learn of this illusion.
Move with me in each caress,
And forgive my mind’s intrusion.

Let me make just one more wish.
From this dream I must depart.
Let me make just one more wish,
That, at least in sleep, we shall never be apart.

When Dreaming Ends

When Dreaming Ends

I woke up with a smile on my face.
I woke up feeling warm and whole.
I woke up and the sunlight illuminated my vision.
I woke up and found a pillow in your place.

I woke up and you were gone.
I woke up and remembered the dream.
I woke up feeling hollow and alone.
I woke up and my heart ached.

I woke up and tears hit my pillow.
I woke up willing myself back to sleep.
I woke up missing your embrace.
I woke up needing you desperately.

I woke up wishing you were there.
I woke up wanting to see your face.
I woke up angry and cold.
I woke up disappointed .

I woke up.

Unrequited

Unrequited

I’m crying for you
And I can’t stop the tears.
I’m crying for you,
And have been for years.

My heart aches for you
Knowing it will never be whole.
My heart aches for you,
Impossible to console.

My soul calls to you
Needing to feel complete.
My soul calls to you
As I kneel at your feet.

My body craves your warmth
When I’m alone at night.
My body craves your warmth,
With a need to hold you tight.

My mind tries to forget
What it’s like to lay with you.
My mind tries to forget
To wish that you will love me too.

When all is said and done,
I know I’ll lose this race.
But when I go to sleep at night,
I’ll always see your face.

Remembering Chan

Thank you for the sunlight
And the laughter that you bring.
Thank you for the comfort
And the song your spirit sings.

Thank you for believing
And for wishing on a star.
Thank you for encouraging
All of us to go so far.

You helped us all remember
That dreams really do come true.
What makes life so beautiful
Is knowing people just like you.

Then There Were Two

My muse has been sleeping for two months! I was going crazy wishing she'd wake up. Finally, she did. This is something I wrote for my best and dearest friend, Vicky, on her birthday. It started out as a song in my head, but I don't have the voice to make it what I hear. Vicky does though...*wink* Anyway, it's posted here as a poem and birthday gift to one special fruitcake. Happy Birthday, Beautiful!

Then There Were Two

We all have our trials, demons to face.
It seems I’ve had more than my share.
More than once, I’d lose my way
Give up, just stand and stare.

I’d look around for some kind of sign,
Something to lift me up.
That was the moment you came to my life.
You gave me something to love.

When the world has kicked me down,
When I don’t have the strength to run,
I remember the moments you made me smile.
Down on my knees, I look up
I look up to you.

We’re all coasting along in this crazy world.
Most times, I’m just rambling on.
When I need a lighthouse to guide me
Back home before the dawn

You are never too far away
To sort out the fork in the road.
And when I need a shoulder to cry on,
You’re arms become my home.

When the night just gets too dark,
When I’m too low to see the sun,
Your laughter expels most any shadow.
Lonely and cold, I reach out
I reach out to you.

Then warm arms enfold me,
Your love fills me with hope.
I can smile and know what it is
To treasure such a blessed gift.

This wondrous joy I feel inside
For having someone to understand,
Empowers my dreams, overtaking me.
I am no longer, and never will be alone.
