Deep in the dark of night
\nlying awake
\nyour image burned into my imagination
\neyes closed as dreams of you descend like warmth deep in the cold of winter
\nas the bewitching hour approaches thoughts flash back to our first meeting
\nwhen universes collided that fateful day<\/p>\n

recalling the mysteriousness of it all
\nI smile
\nthen hearing a whisper
\nurging me to write a poem
\nhonoring the great gift of generosity given to me
\na gratuitous offering made by the heavens<\/p>\n

let a million twinkling stars bear witness to our joy
\nour gratitude to a kind universe<\/p>\n

As sunlight rises over the horizon
\nthoughts turn to love’s enigmatic nature
\nsuddenly I experience a compelling urge to dance
\nwith my back to the wind
\nserenade clouds
\nhiding smiling angels
\nlistening closely hearing their joyful sound
\nharmonizing the last note of your name<\/p>\n

then I pray my urgent prayer that angels sing my name to you
\nsweet melodious music lifting you to the mountain top
\nwhere I impatiently wait your coming<\/p>\n

my beating heart speaks only to your eyes
\nyour love is my buoy
\nlet my name be yours
\nI am the poet who lives in you
\nand you
\nmy love
\nthe constant inspiration alive in me..<\/p>\n
