the warmth of the night consumes me
with tender thoughts of you
your whispers in the moonlight
within the shadows..ebony blue

the stars creep lazily across the sky
in the heavens where you were born
thoughts of you reflect in my eyes
our love i shall never mourn

fragrant blossoms..sweet gardenia
intoxicates spirits of the night
kisses softly alabaster skin
the breath of blossoms creamy white

the warmth of the night consumes me
in my garden of hopeful dreams
planting deeply seeds of memories
nourished by blossoms of moonbeams

This filled my senses with a sweet aroma...

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

Wonderful fragrances come to mind.  Nice job.
