In the space between moments

Two kindred souls meet in this dazzling garden.
The wind caresses the night like a lover's sigh.
Once more two lonely strangers embrace again.
Upon the silken wings of angels love flies.

The wind caresses the night like a lover's sigh.
The stars the only witness as shadows slowly combine.
Upon the silken wings of angels love flies.
With a dew moistened kiss your passion is mine.

The stars the only witness as shadows slowly combine.
Rays of pale moonlight gently move over your face.
With a dew moistened kiss your passion is mine.
Your love touches my soul like a heavenly grace.

Rays of pale moonlight gently move over your face.
In your eyes crystal tears of joy brightly glisten.
Your love touches my soul like a heavenly grace.
To the beating of your honest heart I quietly listen.

In your eyes crystal tears of joy brightly glisten.
Once more two lonely strangers embrace again.
To the beating of your honest heart I quietly listen.
Two kindred souls meet in this dazzling garden.

I definitely agree with both you and Balladeer. I love this form as well, Alwye. You have excelled at it quite readily. Your subject is heartbreakingly beautiful, as well.

OK Krista
That's it!!!
I'm adopting you.....I've decided....
Tell your parents you'll see them after college...... They won't mind, will they??
Tell them it's for educational purposes....Ya think????
Seriously, you've done a very nice job on this - I really love it....
