                 I take you gently in my arms, and feel your warm embrace,
                 As light of heaven's stars above, shines down upon your face,
                 I see the glow of all my dreams, within your beauty there,
                 And touch upon moon's silver beams, as stroke your silken hair.

                 I hear sweet music of the muse, we dance throughout the night,
                 Free as the summer winds that blow, our hearts as one unite,
                 You are my goddess, Aphrodite, you touch within my soul,
                 And leave therein a satin bloom, a rose that makes me whole.

                 I feel the splendor of the night, as hear your siren's song,
                 Breathing in your fragrant scent, I capture all I long,
                 For time stands still, my Venus fair, while I am in your arms,
                 The moon itself, in sky above, cedes to your beauteous charms.

                 My eyes drink of your loveliness, soft grace of supple limb,
                 Sweet creature of the welkin blue, angelic seraphim,
                 I kiss the smoothness of your skin, as gaze into your eyes,
                 With soft caress, on feathered wings, I float upon night's skies.

                 The morning star, you are the night, we dance 'cross heaven's floor,
                 Upon the clouds on winds of time, my darling Terpsichore,
                 I sing to you love's madrigal, I'll love you ever more,
                 I whisper softly to the wind, I love you evermore.

Ms. deVine, Severn, ellie, Martie, and Denise;
I was remiss in not thanking you for your very generous and gracious comments before the poem slid off into oblivion. Your responses are truly appreciated, I am glad you enjoyed the poem.

(I did not bring the poem back up for votes, so please do not do so, thanks)  If a moderator should happen to see this, would you correct the typo in the second to last line...  your to you....  thanks.
