if the nightingales could sing like you
they'd sing much sweeter than they do

    ~ Kahal

picture this  

stars whispering in the night air  
smell of jasmine calling  
an oaken rocker    
sleepy head on your shoulder
bare toes entwined with yours
  
you sing to my heart  
...lady

strong arms make a home
your voice a place to sleep
dreams lie heavy on my eyelids
your nightsong wraps me

it’s pictures like this
that keep me awake

   A lovely Shangrila, Milady

        stars whispering in the night air  
        smell of jasmine calling  
        an oaken rocker    
        sleepy head on your shoulder
        bare toes entwined with yours

   Peaceful and beautiful images to soothe the soul. Your wonderful words take me there

With such wonderful visions, it must be worth to stay awake!

Love your nightsong, Lady, it has a touch of magic.
