Are you listening to me, dearest?
Is your heart in tune with mine?
Can you taste the flavor of my words-
Like some sweet, classic wine?

Can you feel the heat of passion-
As my words depict a scene?
Of a castle in a dream world-
And you enthroned, the Queen?

Do my visions quite enchant you?
As your memory enchants me?
Do we while away our hours-
In a mindscape, wild and free?

Are these words of mine quite foolish?
Am I cursed to dream alone?
Won’t you join me for a little?
Ere the time of dreams is gone?

Absolutely exquisite, John . . . You have me swooning . . . Such passionate, enchanting, mesmerising words could never be foolish.  May the time of dreams never be gone . . .
