cheerfulLove is a twisting --
hope and want and need and tears
braided in heartstrings
I saw your eyes flash
in the summer afternoon,
and knew I was caught
As the midnight calls
the scent of your loneliness
echos in my heart
Under the moonlight
Like a silver mirrored dream,
You showed me my heart
In my dreams I saw
moonlight shining on water
and you there, waiting
As the moon rose,
We put away our sorrow
In our time alone
I searched in the dark --
you were just beyond my grasp,
but then, morning came.
Do not walk away
into the night without me
lost in midnight’s call
My night dream of you
just a pale imitation
shatters in your light
Time winds around heart
As I fall into your eyes
Awash in your tears.
Shyness in the light--
a handful of red flowers
speaking promises
When you touch my cheek
My heart forgets its hard pain
Warmed by your soft smile
In your eyes I see
the end of winter's bleakness,
your smile my new spring
