A Lover's Lullaby Rock me in your lover’s nest Cradle me with gentleness Touch me with a sweet adore Tenderly forevermore Murmuring of heart in love Is lullaby of mourning dove Listen to the lyric’s hush Spoken with a finger’s touch Wrap your soul around me tight And hear the music of the night So great a song is ever sought From ecstasy the hymn is wrought Under midnight’s diamond sky I hear contentment’s lullaby It is a lover’s song of bliss That chimes within a tender kiss Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 11-01-2000).] |

Elizabeth I have'nt been around for a while because I've been rather ill. But it's nice to see that when I do come back that you are still writing beautiful flowing poetry. I love the rhythum and the rhyme to this one. "Wrap your soul around me tight And hear the music of the night So great a song is ever sought From ecstasy the hymn is wrought." Just excellent as usual and I'm glad to be able to read some of your heartwarming work again......take care...ethome |

That you could so perfectly pack - such an incredible summation of all that makes a perfect kiss perfect into so few verses - convinces me you are a true poet's poet. You've defined it, distilled it and described it so very beautifully. |

Paula, Thank you. Keep humming Sunshine, "Music of the Night", one of my favorites. Thanks Sy, you should never watch an hourglass, just enjoy the time. Thanks for reading ethome, it is so great to have you back on the forum. Thank you for your kind remarks Inot2B, Please try to stay awake. You wouldn't want to miss the lullaby Bill, A great compliment from "the romantic poet" THanks Liz |
