We sway beneath a canopy of stars
To music strumming softly on guitars
On velvet sands you hold me in strong arms
And fly me to the moon with all your charms.

You softly whisper sweet things in my ear
A fire burns as close you hold me near
And to the pounding rhythm of the sea
We lose ourselves in passion’s ecstasy.

Then underneath soft moonlit midnight skies
We lie enraptured gazing into eyes
Now singing songs of our undying love
Heard only by we two and stars above.

Once more you pull me close and gently kiss
My face, my neck, again I know your bliss;
As cheek to cheek we stroll along the dock
You vanish to the clanging of my clock.

 Denise

And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~

One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.

Hey, Denise, you are really hot tonight!
And so prolific! To what do we owe this sudden pouring of poetic passion? This is great! Keep it up! And besides being passionate, this poem happens to be very beautiful.

Wow! Thank you all for your wonderful responses! This was written in response to a challenge from Lost Dreamer to answer what her 'Dream Man' was doing after her alarm clock went off.....hehehehe......he was romancing me!!!  

J.T.- sorry, only one man owns my heart....Lost Dreamer's 'Dream Man'....hehehe

p.s. I tried to dream of him last night but, alas, the only thing that I dreamed of, that I can remember, was pizza!! (I'm on a low carbohydrate diet.....so I guess you all know where my mind is at..hehehehe)
