Love - it seems to me a dream
When twilight rests upon my brow
And fingers break the fragile skein
That separate the here from now

Atop a bed of silk so fair
‘Neath diamond starlight winks a’bright
Oh! Glorious eyes bold – I ensnared
Render wakefulness a futile plight

Luminous shines my pure white skin
Halo’d within a moonlit glow
Ethereal dreams don adoring grin
Cradle my body with lover’s show

Sweet be mine upon this night
Where Chronos’ rule traps us not
Within your arms, the dawn we’ll fight
Nay, Lonliness!  We deny our lot

Enrapture my senses dream lover mine
If only for our short short while
Let me taste pure love divine
Upon the lips of your tender smile

Alas - as dawn’s light creeps slowly in
I am left with naught but a gentle tear
In remembrance of I – your arms within
Your strength abolishing my every fear

Love – it seems to me a dream
And I but a lonely twilight gleam



 May I never be too busy to help another's load,
Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

This is almost musical to me...you sing a sadly beautiful song here...I adored it....every
line is lyrical  


 Words bloom like flowers that seem astonished at being born.

Oh Satiated one - this poem was wonderful!  I love the description of love in dreams.  This poem flowed so well, and says so much of what every person must feel at some point in their life.

I also love your picture.  Surely, it must be one of your favorites.  What a sweet sweet scene.
