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
