(I tried to be totally serious - but - well - for a verse or two 'lost it') The moon's hazy orb Cast her light on the lawn Silvery with dew A night love could spawn Shoeless we danced Wet feet in the grass Slippery wet blades We near fell on our knees Music of spheres Played a tango of love Heard in our heads Shining down from above In the shadow of trees Held you close for a kiss In all my years Never felt so much bliss The band in the hall Played a rock 'n roll tune But we swayed to our own 'Neath that old cloudless moon Scent of Mock orange or was it Viburnum My nose deep in your hair Clasping you close We were in Cupid's lair Did we float did we rise To celestial heights? Or did it just seem so Was it one of those nights? I know not nor care not You were safe in my arms I knew I'd hold you Safe from all alarms Shooting stars and bright comets Their tails swarming by us We trod the Milky Way Polaris to guide us On through the night We danced till stars faded Dancing on dewdrops I'm so glad we're mated < !signature--> [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 08-25-2000).] |

Corinne- I almost left out that verse - couldn't make it rhyme - would be too crude - or too dumb - but on greater reflection - decided laughter is and should be part of love - Thanks Corinne ~S~ |

You did a splendid job on this one!!!!! It is very romantic, and well-put......... Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Some favored passages: Shoeless we danced Wet feet in the grass Slippery wet blades We near fell on our knees I heard the real message... ... The band in the hall Played a rock 'n roll tune But we swayed to our own 'Neath that old cloudless moon ... Did we float did we rise To celestial heights? Or did it just seem so Was it one of those nights? ... On through the night We danced till stars faded Dancing on dewdrops I'm so glad we're mated ... Thank YOU, Mr. Yeats! |

What better way to depict the lightness of love than to allude to the whimsy of it? This is grand, Wilfred. Might want to wear kneepads next time. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Claire - Eddie - Thank you so much - (and I suppose on wet slippery grass - kneepads - and possibly other padding - might be advisable - Of course kneepads - could get us into a whole other forum  |
