Tender Night

Beyond the walls of silence I conquer all fear Distinguishing the difference I long to draw him near The moon that hangs above Sends out its mellow glow The stars are merely guides For the path that lay below He takes me in his arms Our hearts are on fire Sealing our fate with a kiss Fulfilling every desire Soft blowing breezes Like whispers in the wind Wings of a dove flutter And this love never ends

Girl....this is good, but we need to talk. How about placing some lightning into your writing? dragonflysrest@fastmail.fm I am not trying to put you down, your poetry is far superior to mine. I just think I could give you a few tips on things. It would be an honor. ~Gar
