IT WAS THE NIGHT OF THE YELLOW MOON

                          ACROSS THE STAGE

AND AS I AWAKENED
              I                    KNEW

                                      FALLING

                                                            IN LOVE

A Stolen Moment

That fateful night we met I didn’t have a clue
In the nights to follow... my dreams would be of you

For hours we discussed out past in length..
In turn my attraction to you grew in strength

But your emotions ... I just don’t understand.
You are not within my grasp... but yet you feel close at hand

Cuddling with my pillows... my eyes shut tight
I long to have your arms around me tonight......

                                          DAWN

The Sun
         rises
                                as she nestles

                         under
                              the soft
                                           coverlet
         dreaming
                              of
                                         his       handsome face

The loving
                  touch        of      his worn
                             hands
                                                 gently
    exploring
                            her
                                   body

   smoldering    eyes
                         penetrating
                                      her
                                                        soul
his name
                                       on her lips.
