LOVE NIGHT & DAY

I want to lie under the moon
with you by my side
every night, and make wishes
that may come true
or may not, it doesn't matter
so long as we are together
lying under the moon

I want to rise with the sun
with you by my side
every morning, of every day
whatever may happen
on whatever day, it doesn't matter
so long as we rise together
always with the sun




BEAUTIFUL DREAMER

Oh, Beautiful Dreamer
What magic thy pen makes upon parchment
To light a child's face and fancy
To teach, to nurture, to make smile
The Goddess has granted thee a gift
To brighten the lives of the young
With words and imagery most fair
A gift to share with all
A gift of love and laughter
A gift of smiles
A gift...

Lovers in the Moonlight © Marc Chagall THE KINDLY NIGHT

The night is ours.
The Kindly Night,
alive with wisp and wind

as we two walk,
thru nights embrace,
until the never-end.

So much we love,
aloud and fierce
we have, ourselves, to learn

about each other,
and what life is
and what it means to yearn.

So let us live
in nights embrace
and damn the violent winds!

Together we
can storm the gates
of heaven, and ascend!




DREAMS (OF RENEE)

Poised upon the end
of Dreams
and the beginnings of morning light
I wake, only to find myself
where I was
when asleep I fell.
Beside my love, so gently sleeping,
breathing...in...and out.
I smile.
The warm smile of one who is in love.
I see beauty when I look upon her
snuggled into the warm bedsheets,
Dreaming her Dreams
or nightmares.
Hopefully not nightmares.
I hope that I am in those Dreams,
A positive reinforcement of love.
A singular outstanding part.
"We are one, you and I," I thought
as I gazed,
at my love,
poised on the end of Dreams.
