I lay upon the night in shadow’s play contented
As I yearn I learn the founding of what was resented
Assembled in my heart this basket full of wishes
Clear in what I have to share these thoughtful swishes

To fail in love I always thought a sign of weakness
As I stumble, and I fall, a finer thrill in every meekness
A richer dish, a deeper fair, emerges every heartache
Clean and crisp as newborn snow in every savored partake

I lay upon these sheets so cool, in reverence I think of you
And see in dreams our love in ways that I had never known to do
A smile ignites at every contact point as I move in your light
Close and warm in play that graces every day and into every night

To be the arms you feel surround you as you journey through
And as I find creatively to pamper thoroughly and care for you
A free form flight, uncharted and undressed of all false hopes
Cherished in the times I see you shine and every time your spirit copes

To fall so deeply into love that outside becomes inside warm
And lay beside you every night in listen of each passing storm
Intimate these thoughts that sparkle in my mind, receiving all you feel
Comfort in the twilight that we share and by our hearts to seal

I lay upon this longing that transports me to your arms
A fondle of each tender place to furnish every fantasy in vivid charms
To hear you with my heart, and listen deeply to your cares
Cheerily to gather gifts of endless wishes that this basket bears

This is why you are one of my all-time favorite writers. You continually astound me with your talent. I love this. What many wish they could express and how many feel. This is outstanding!

Warm regards, Pat

You truly are an amazing writer and I enjoy your special gift so much.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

ThisDiamond - this is one of your best I have read in my opinion. Of course one must remember I'm very partial to romance. And you have done this well in this writing...
