- Sleep My Darling -

Through the open window strokes a light summer wind
  Lightweight summer curtains flap
  The sky with beautiful stars - shiny pearls
  I feel your breath against my forehead
  Pillow by pillow
  I was just listening to the night sounds
  A night of poetry
  Tenderness ... to be close
  A full moon night under the stars shine
  My love of mystery and imagination
  Promise me you dream of me
  When you sleep I kiss you gently

Anne Lise: This poem is rich in imagery and feeling. It takes one on an unforgettably beautiful trip. I love it. BTW, thanks for your kind comments regarding "My Everything." I treasure them. Paul (Forgive me if this is a duplicate post. My previous draft went "poof" as I was about to post it.)

This is like the moment before dreaming. We are there yet not there. Later we may remember the beautiful events that take place in our dreams. We want to feel loved, and in dreams we are. Regards.
