Darkness has fallen, but the night is still so bright.
Dancing in the shadows of the moonlight tonight.
Music playing softly, as we take another sip of wine.
I see the twinkle in your eyes, as I catch them watching mine.

The mood of the night is so peaceful and serene.
This mystical moment is almost like a dream.
The sensation of this evening stirs a passion deep within.
As I hear your soothing whisper carried on the gentle wind.

And as this midnight escapade continues to unfold.
We find within each other, a treasure to behold.
As our shadows from the moonlight dance upon the wall.
Together we will savor the enchantment of it all.

Eloise my friend - this is beautiful! So softly flowing...

And as this midnight escapade continues to unfold.
We find within each other, a treasure to behold.

Simply lovely lines - a wonderful image.

Lovely, lovely lines, Eloise.

Softly playing through my mind,
like melodies of another time.

Ah, this sets one to longing, now doesn't it..?  Well done, Eloise ...

--Kess



 Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made,
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange...


--William Shakespeare, from The Tempest
