don't tell me the dawn has come
because I know that my arms
won't let you go

banish the light from my sight
all I want to see
is the dark brown of your
night-filled eyes
meeting my own
in an understanding of the
depth of our passion

silence the sound
of morning's first dove
and let the beating of your
tender heart be the
only sound I hear
and let my whispered
I love you
fill your ears and
speak to your soul

cool the first breeze of dawn
and make it as soft
as the touch of your hand
to my cheek
the touch of love

the dawn has not come my love
you silently speak
and with a wave of your hand
the darkness continues

May you experience many such wonderful nights my friend....this is very very good Sven! I love the atmosphere...you had me jealous there for a while.

let the love allow the night
to last forever in your sight
oh let the night forever live
inside the love which you will give
true belief of passioned time
fills your words, completes your rhyme,
love does not need ever die....
let the night forever sigh.....

You've captured the depths of the best kind of love. It is easy to write of love.......not always easy to describe this kind of love. Beautiful, Sven.

Thank you for the kind welcome back!

oh I love this.....if only it were that easy...course with a pair of black curtains...and maybe those masks they use to keep the puffiness out of your eyes....course that's not very romantic looking (rofg) and then you wouldn't be able to see her eyes...nope...that won't work...maybe just read your poem outloud and let its magic take the light nice work here

Oh, Sven..I can hear the melody of this one! Hope you don't mind I've already put it to music in my head. I do so love when you write like this!
