~ For YuLan and James ~

Midnight Star of Love

Oh, little glimmering midnight star of love
Does my love ever stand and gaze at you?
Would he dare stop to wish upon a star
And dream of me the way that lovers do?

Oh, ever rolling waters of the sea
Do you know what is written in his eyes?
Do they reflect your glassy starlit crests
That glisten as they move and mesmerize?

Please speak to me, oh lustrous silent one
That pearly iridescent moon on high
Surely you’ve gleamed down upon his face
And somehow caught his unsuspecting eye

Does he ask you to gently glow on me
And drizzle soft moon luster on my face?
And does he wonder if I gaze at you
The lovers moon seen from a far off place?

Perhaps he walks upon the midnight beach
And whispers tender love songs to the sea?
And slowly scrolls my name into the sand?
Please tell me, does he ever think of me?

Have you seen him stand upon the rocks
And whisper out my name into the breeze?
Sometimes I think I hear his gentle voice
Calling out my name across the seas

Perhaps the voice I’m hearing in my head
Is echoing the sorrow of my own
Perhaps I’ll always walk the balmy beach
And dream upon a midnight star alone

Lynne, Thank you for your nice e-mail. I dedicated this poem to you for all your readings and responses to my poetry and also for James, who has also been an avid reader and I appreciate it very much. I'm glad you liked this poem which was inspired by my young dreaming days.
Liz

Liz; I see that we have something in common:
we are both incurable romantics! This is so lovely and soooo romantic. Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Elizabeth~
What beauty you draw in the sand -

'Perhaps he walks upon the midnight beach
And whispers tender love songs to the sea?
And slowly scrolls my name into the sand?
Please tell me, does he ever think of me?'

Love it.
