In the heavens I espy, beyond the clouds afar,
Splendor of a winter rose, a wond'rous midnight star,
Am touched upon by petals fair, exquisite satin flower,
As sings her songs of Terpsichore, in calm of evening's hour,
A muse alone in solitude, beyond Orion's belt,
Strums her lute in love's reprise, her sorrows ever felt,
A soothing wind that comes to me, from other side of time,
And carries me to skies above, encaptured in her rhyme,
Sweet flower of the heavens, outshines the welkin light,
Beauty of a velvet bloom, my goddess of the night.

*sigh* how incredible*sigh* I hope you do not mind but this Star took this beautiful poem so filled with magic and starlight to heart. You have with words of softness and filled with the beauty of stars woven a vision that I took flight in and flowed though. I have as yet to store anything in my private library but this one has captured my spirit and will be treasured. It is going there and getting printed out. I think you have sparked a vision in me. How very delightful. I feel compeled to write of love in the stars. You have wonderful talent, dear one. Much love to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com

Oh, Mike~
I love your midnight prowl~
The petals of the white, white rose
just fell across my night.
Just lovely, sir.

a rose is but a rose ...
until dressed in your gifted rhyme of suppose  

yet another one for the bouquet collection in my library ...
exquisite ... again
