Obtain

I wish I were
a dream of yours
so I could feel
how moonlight endures
and press you
against black velvet sky
alone with stars
just you and I
then slowly take
a midnight dance
to carry us through
daylight’s romance
trading stars for sun
then back again
this is a dream
you can obtain

I wish you could walk in dreams,
Beneath moonlight beside streams,
To be beside another in walking
Sharing thoughts without talking,
To watch the shimmer of moonbeams,
Stay in such dreams never waking,
I hope your searching lets you find
What dreams seek within your mind.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Nicely wished, lady

"against black velvet sky
alone with stars
just you and I"


ah, that black velvet . . .

where once awash in the foaming sea
black velvet returns to now be free
stands there against the night sky deep
and blends into the stars we'll keep

sweet dreams . . .
