Beginnings of Love

As I gaze upon the clustered stars

Above in purest light

The sight of you appears

Oh sleepless night escape me not

Until the light of dawn

Enchantment

Unsuspecting beneath the silent stars

Or in fields of fragrant flowers I am led

With sudden splendid vision I behold

Her image penetrates my very soul

To a life of love and feelings deep

Beauty and pleasure found surpassing all

Romance with me

Heart of Mine

When silent nights wear a star studded crown

With moonlight splashing upon the ground

Hear my voice approaching like a gentle breeze

Like the songs of birds, listen to my words

Feel my presence

I have fallen in love with you

My Heart ~Yours Alone

In the midst of others

I see no one, I hear no one, only you

All but forgotten are those who came before you

Captivated each time I see you, never wanting to flee

My passion in the beauty of you alone remains

Into The Night

With the luster of a velvet moon

Along the summits of mountains

Heaven opens over lakes and groves

In the quiet shade of the valley below

There along the path she is found

A motion of loveliness, her heart serene

She walks with pleasure and pure delight

My Heart Rejoices
High above the hills and valleys
Through billowing white clouds, the landscape unfolds
More radiant than the glow of the early morning sky
Beautiful are my thoughts and desires of you
To gently caress your body
Capturing its pleasure within my hands
I cast below my hopes and dreams they not fade away

Love Me

Tenderly as snowflakes gently fall upon my face

With warmth like the rays from the sun

Speak words that entice me, soothe me

Touch me, hold me, caress me

Tell me with your eyes

Love me

Forever Friends

Nothing compares to the friendship we share

Like an enchanting chord of music

A symphony of affection and fondness

Harmony and gratuitous joy

Leaving footprints on our hearts

O Lovely Moon

When I think of you, my crescent moon

Pursuing a path across the tranquil night sky

Painted with your lovely glow

O sweet companion and loving friend

I clasp you to my breast to the bosom of my heart

Life glides on with cheerful hopeful happiness

My Love for You

Like autumn leaves turning into a hue of colors

Like the changes of seasons, you are always there

Like the light of the sun that makes bright the da y

Like the shadow of the moon as it fills the night sky

Like a flower that blossoms without the aid of seasons

You are always there
