Song of Passions

My darling, your smile
Memories revive
Blushing eventide
Where emotions pry
Rekindling our vibes
On marigold skies
As bashful moon vies
Twinkle in your eyes
Yearning earnestly
Missives of feelings
Invoking in dreams 
Rise of new morning
As rays of sun blue
Sparkle drops of dew
When you say it's true
The night had no clue
That song of the dawn
Was crooning for you,
My dear, how you knew
The dream is so true
And song of the dawn
Is just me and you
When passions I woo
So fervently bloom
Euphoric longings
Singing hearts’ lyrics
Strumming to music
Of doting heartbeats
When so far you are
Yet, so close you feel
