Sleepwalk

At night when slumber welcomes me
I’ll take a walk so heavenly
Across the starry moonlit skies
To gaze into my lover's eyes

For there she waits to take my hand
And stroll across this wonderland
We meet each night in clouded mist
Enjoying love’s celestial tryst

We’ll stroll along the Milky Way
And watch the silvery moonbeams play
Past pools of starlight we will dance
Within an ethereal trance

I pray my sleep will never end
So with my sweet love I can spend
Each cherished moment of the night
In love’s embrace so warm and tight

My thoughts are filled with end of day
When dreamland is not far away
My lady love waits patiently
To sleepwalk ‘cross the skies with me

A most beautiful inspiring write!
The rhyme and flow of this is so much like a waltz.
Lovely indeed!

I have to agree with Nancy.  This waltzes very softly, your lightfooted sweet dreams!

If there is ONE thing I work hard at [when not writing free verse] is to look for those who can competently write rhyming poetry with the correct "feet".  I suck at it.  

I think it is because my own internal "heartbeat" is a slight bit "off" and what I "hear" in my own head seems to have the correct count, but alas, I'm always being pulled up short by the best of the poets who care that I care, and told, "nope...missed it here, and here..."

Sigh.

BUT...now I have yet one more master to emulate...and appreciate, wholeheartedly.

Thank you, Sir...for coming to Passions, and hopefully, you will make it a home, because I'm sure enjoying your style.

I don't think I've ever told you I admire your work, so this is the perfect chance. A lovely write, spun beautifully. It is a pleasure to read you.
