In the Slow Magic

When dawn is done and we’re alone
I want you in my embrace,...to trace
the aura of the dreams we’ve sewn
and bask dreamily in this space 

	In the slow magic of the night
		I drift into your arms
		awash with all your charms

As the dark consumes the sky
and the moon...begins its swoon
Your calming touch brings a sigh
as I beg tomorrow not come too soon

	In the slow magic of the night
		when the day has brought too much
		you calm me with your touch

Then brightness announces the day
and our dreams...become new schemes
the night’s fantasies fade away
and day’s realities become extremes

	In the slow magic of the night
		when at last all worries are outcast
		I melt into ecstasy unsurpassed
