“EMBRACE OF CLOSENESS”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
A glass of wine pressed to moist lips appealing,
your eyes pierce as they sparkle in candlelight,
they dance with the flame of a delicate melody,
whispering promises to see them into daylight…

Another instrumental plays on with notes soft,
listen to the rhythm sing out in soft ballet,
take my hand and we’ll glide over this floor,
a new beginning to start, to not throw away…

Hold me tight in tenderness of this yearning,
sway with a lover’s touch to blues in harmony,
whisper to me thoughts that dwell deep within,
close your eyes yet open, dream of what will be…

This night a softer breeze caresses on faces,
seconds become dreams, minute’s eternity,
time is of the essence, but what do we care,
for this embrace of closeness are of two in unity…

Oh, lovely, whispy words.  You make me feel frumpy sitting here in my jammies, with touseled hair...I want to be the one you speak of, so I'm going to brush my teeth now!  Ha!

Bill,
I felt a warm, soft breeze caress my face as I read this.   Goodness, that felt good.  I am going back to read this one again.

Absolutely lovely BC

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

(smiles) Time is not an important quality when it comes to love, as it is all about living in the moment! (big angel hugs) This is sooooooooo romantic, sweet friend, you truly are our moonlight troubadour, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
