i'll compose for you a lullaby
to sing with the crickets
if only you'll let me stay
and watch you sleep

i'll weave you a story
of paradise and sea
if only you'll let me stay
and watch you dream

i'll silence the atmosphere
with sweet dulcet whispers
if only you'll let me stay
and hear you breathe

i'll linger all night
in the warmth of your presence
if only you'll pull me near
and let me stay...

Found you at last on page three!!!
Well I popped out and wandered in here ....this is a lovely poem DGV......it's so gentle and as usual well written.........sure is lonely back at the watering hole!........awww well I'm off now ......me drinks waiting.

It's really lovely at the pub
You get nice drinks and lovely grub
You can even share a tub   or two..

So if your feeling rather weak
Don't despair just back you sneak
They'll always be a welcome home....for you


Sorry .........It's really lonely now!!!

dg, I've sung with the crickets before. . .they're pretty good, but they could really use a drummer!  

Wonderful my friend. . . just wonderful. . .

Dee, did you just try to slip one past me. This is perfect, absolutly perfect.

If there were enough superlatives to go round they still wouldn't be enough. Still hey you know you deserve them for this beauty, it's fantastic. The trouble for me is since your work is always so good, and since it's getting better, I'm going to run out of praise unless I come up with some new words just for you. I'll have to think up some.

Dee love I like this so much I'm boosting it back to the top, and it'll keep it away from mine. There, that's scuppered that plot, lets face it love it's not a good idea to showcase gilt next to solid gold is it.
(and cheap gilt at that)

DGV~
    This is a lovely poem, my dear.  Very heartfelt and touching.  I love your sentiments (but then, I am a hopeless romantic anyway!!!).

Thanks for sharing. I loved it!
