In Tenderness of Night

In tenderness of night Restore my faith in ME Caress in gentle ways That make my heartaches flee In tenderness of night Clothe my name in your need Touch me in every place That fantasy will feed In tenderness of night Mend all my broken dreams With promise drenched kisses That carry sunshine beams In tenderness of night Let traveling hands stake claim Dancing minstrels of love That banish all my shame In tenderness of night Breathe over me your love As I lay helpless, bare Passion’s eagle turned to dove In tenderness of night Love out of me despair With words of noble knight Confess my beauty fair In tenderness of night On body free your soul Mating of mysteries Fragmented lives made whole In tenderness of night Let time be ever still Neath eyes of silver moon Your essence in me fill Naught else but you and I In tenderness of night Yet what transpires now Brings forth dawn’s glorious light Eileen Manassian Ghali

Sounds like a magical evening. What more could any man or woman hope for. You have made me even more homesick with this magnificent piece.
