A Dress of Spiders Silk

That warm and sultry evening a cool
and gentle zephyr, kissed my cheek 
like a feather. A pearl shaped moon 
brightly shone, the stars appeared 
one by one. Golden reeds and 
moonbeams pranced, as starlight fell, 
my dreams they danced.
Out of the water she came to me, 
silver braids in her hair, of glowing 
form and skin so fair. Her dress the 
finest spiders silk, her skin the hue 
of buttermilk. Her eyes the shade 
of peredots,in her hair forgetmenots.
Lips inviting with pinkish glow, from her 
heart a warmth did flow. 
She took my hand, we walked the lake, 
talked of past and dreams to make.
Under the bough's of an old Oak tree, 
with her eyes made love to me. The
heart and soul in ecstacy, I wish, I wish 
this could ever be, her heart and mine 
for eternity.
