I Want You in My Night Soft comes the breeze across the field It sweeps like silk across my face And brings with it a longing hunger To be in that distant place The dust of moonlight settles fine Upon the limbs of weathered beech It fills my heart with life's own yearning For a dream beyond my reach I long to be with love's sweet pleasure Cradled in your welcome nest And savor love to greatest measure Soothing all my soul's unrest Forever I will dream the dream And I will sing my heart's desire And cast a wish upon the stars To bring me to your warming fire The chill of icy winter breeze Warms the thoughts of love's delight I whisper in the moonlight's leisure How I want you in my night Elizabeth Santos |

A poetry webmaster commented to me recently that not enough poets wrote from the heart. He obviously has not seen your work (or this site for that matter!) This is truly lovely Elizabeth. I wish you happiness. Rod |

I agree with Rod, the intensity of the poem comes straight from the poet's sentiment. I enjoyed reading yours, Elizabeth. |
