I can not express my gratitude to Lin for all she has done for me. I was so humbled when she asked me to participate in these sonnets, as we are all aware of her talent. Her gracious nature has garnered my enduring love and friendship and I will always be proud to call her my friend. I call her "Peaches" as a term of endearment, for she is truly sweet. Thank you, Peaches for everything.

In deep slumber madness, she comforts me
Appearing, unencumbered, from the mist
Subconscious suspension our nightly tryst
Erasing my mind of bad memories
She mends and warms my soul so tenderly
Imbibing my thoughts and heart with her kiss
Lovingly fulfills a long ago wish
Thankfully restoring my sanity
Regularly she visits in silence
Enlightening my dreams with wholesomeness
Wiping my tears of angered betrayal
Exchanging her love for malevolence
I awaken with renewed happiness
Refreshed from the angelic portrayal

                  **********
Rest easy, dear one. Night Angel is here
To ease the worry from your furrowed brow
Kiss to the cheek, I lay upon you now
In your sweetest dream you will feel me near
Memories of your past no longer live
No need for tears to fall from pain or stress
Tender love I offer in my caress
Gift of my thoughts to you this night I give
Wake on the morrow, glad to greet the sun
Knowing night has me coming through the mist
To comfort once more when your cheek is kissed
As Night Angel hovers o're her loved one
Though I must wait till night sends its moonbeams
I shall never leave you lost in your dreams

                 **********
Undeserving am I, for such mercy 
A sinner and tormented vagabond 
Cavorting with strumpets in Babylon 
Rendering my soul hungry and thirsty 
Yet nightly, through the mist you come tersely 
Descending with your kindness from beyond 
Blessed with your kiss my memories abscond 
Overfilling my heart with love firstly 
Night Angel, I have prayed for forgiveness 
From the midst of my dreams, am again whole 
By the magnificence of your meekness 
My conscience is now bending from stiffness 
The morning sun brings new light to my soul 
Now no longer will ever go sleepless

Thank you, Elaine. Lin deserves the credit, I was simply following her lead. She has more talent in her little finger than I could ever hope to have. She has taught me so much. But I thank you for the flowers as they are very beautiful:)

That's some introduction, Danny. I think you made me blush like a peach. Thank you, and I am honored to be sandwiched between your two beautiful sonnets.

I must refrain in decorum from that comment as to the illusions it brings. You my friend are wayyy to modest. Thank you for being you! Peace, Peaches:)
