~LAUGHTER'S WINGS~


Soft voices in the distance whisper "let souls be as one"..."let hearts unite,"
and for one magical night, we are together as it was meant to be,
our love gathers the winds
as emotions fly us through the air
on magic carpets woven with laughter, joy and care,
we leave behind pain, loneliness and confusion
as the world around us disapears for a moment's time

We caress under the moonlight
whils't stars burn with intensity
shining in your eyes as you look deep into mine -
their sparkling reflections of pure love lasting touches the depths of all that I am
experiencing the wonder of the wind's breath of freedom

We fly past crashing waves of crystal blue
entranced by it's thunderous applause
for the eternal love found within me and you,
your laughter echoes through time and space
returning to sing lullabies in my ears,
your breath upon my face
sends my spirit into reveries,
your lips touch mine -
seduced by the sweet taste of your kiss,
there, we soar intoxicated within the dance of passion's bliss,
the wind blows through my hair
as your fingers gently graze my skin
sending rushes and chills through my soul,
oh enraptured am I of you
captivated by a knight forever true,
we fly through night and into the morn,
as our love carries us away
to the very ends of the day
to watch the beauty of the sunset's colours make love amidst the horizon
as we glide on laughter's wings
