Beneath the Rain and Stars
Though we are beneath the same quiet midnight sky
A longing is felt deep inside, so great in its demands
Desire that only you can see within my moonlit eyes
A sensation only you can feel beneath your loving hands
I can see your hesitation as you reach out for me
And wonder how this passion ever came to be
The stars light your eyes and a drop of rain runs down my face
As you pull me close, within my heart begins to race
The stars cast the light for your tender touch in the dark
The rain washes hearts clean for a new journey to embark
A storm is brewing deep in my soul waiting to emerge
With one look, one touch, always on the verge
I can feel your unending questions about this new romance
I can see the love within you too scared to take a chance
Let me love you and hold you, take me to your heart
Once you find your wings we'll never be apart
Let my rain annoint you with love and wash away the scars
You will find the meaning of love and happiness
Beneathe The Rain and Stars.
His Hands
His hands…
Rough and calloused by every day toils;
Yet still… personify all that is gentle and kind.
His yielding touch against my cheek to say he loves me
His compassionate fingers that wipe away my tears
His engaging hold on my face as he kisses me intensely
His tenderness as he lets my hair run through his fingers
His gentle squeeze he gives as he hugs me tightly in joy
His protective embrace as he clutches me against him
His firm grasp on my hips in passion's throws
His secure shield to show I am his
His contented drape when an evenings love is spent
His blanket of rest over my waist for a night's slumber
His hands…
Embody all that I love of him.
Bedtime Story
“Sit here” he says and pats his knee
jumping up she asks “Daddy will you read to me”
His arm over around pulls her in
She giggles with delight snuggling to him
Tales of knight and heros in far off places
She can't see them, but she knows the faces
Each and every one so familiar, heroic, seen in her mind
Trustworthy, tough, loyal, tender and kind
“The End” he says, her mood suddenly blue
“But Daddy I love when you tell stories of you.”
Dance With Me
Dance with me my love
In the pale blue moonlight
Hold me close and tender
Fingers touching mine
A starlight waltz of lovers
Hearts and souls entwined
Feet as light as ether
Ghostly flutter of my dress
The scent of you on the breeze
My every sense does it caress
Your cheek to mine
Soft breath in my ear
The gentle rhythm of our love
The beat to which we move
Angelic chorus echoes
When you hold me near
Dance with me my love
For many a pale blue moonlight
You and I to share.
