Her Eyes Were Like Fireflies

My love,
the depth of my fervor is without measure

you are the face that illuminates the darkness
you are the eyes filled with fireflies
their gleamy glows fill love's misty realms
 
you cause my heart to quiver importing me to dreamland
where we'll accommodate ourselves on some barren shore
as lovers...in a warm passionate embrace
freed from the burdens of the world

perhaps...taste our lips melting in another time and place
where we'll glide to the stars on wishes and wings of golden memories

we'll claim the nights as dreamers
whose pockets are filled with poems...written by our souls
when we learned to cross the bridge to ambrosial sighs
treasured by lovers...
joined by our fate before our shadows fall upon our footprints
and we vanish in the gray twilight of our time on Earth

Beautifully writ, Frederic, I'm sure it will do well. I Like your new Avatar, but shouldn't its arrestor hook be down? Regards, Viv
