Let Me See the Stars

Let me see the stars twinkling bright
  hidden in the shadows of a cold dark night.

Measure the distance of where you be
  to a point directly focused above me
  stretching open arms across the sea.

Here my voice whispering among stars I claim
  speaking your familiar beloved  name.
  
Let the wind carry my heart to your wait
  to that place where you arduously create
  smiling, waiting at the garden gate.

Breathe in the jasmine and magnolia
  scent the air sweet and unashamed in ambrosia
  graced by the color and simple grandeur of a nova..

Let me see the stars where angels fear to tread
  and as I raise my hand to my head
  share a selfish moment or two or three in your bed.
