“CLOSER TONIGHT”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Night shadows dim against the sky,
many thoughts of you, in my mind…
To cherish, to hold, to want,
not knowing, or having a clue…

Fantasies in which I pretend,
dreams I have, when I sleep…
Embracing tightly, as we touch,
loving you, into the deep…

Seeing you, a shadow of thought,
misty, cloudy, in my light…
You will not remember any other,
when I hold you, closer tonight…

From one Romeo to another, you speak the words well here.

Flowing and heartfelt.
