Tonight I Close My Eyes

Tonight I close my eyes Tonight I touch the sky And once again the stars would show me our dreams Dreams so long forgotten Dreams carried with the breeze Oncemore without demand the stars show me your heart And I'll remember you I 'll remember me I 'll remember us I' ll remember how and who we used to be Those playful fingertips tracing my sultry lips Arms wrapped around my waist Moon glowing on your face Tonight I close my eyes Tonight I touch the sky And once again the stars would show me our dreams Dreams so long forgotten Dreams carried with the breeze They reveal each whisper related to your breath They show me misted windows and a single bed Tonight I close my eyes I'll read between the lines Tonight I' ll find that chapter where goodbyes were pretty lies I await the sunrise with you still on my mind Tonight I close my eyes Tonight I touch the sky And once again the stars would show me our dreams Dreams that in a yesterday were sweet realities.

Charma you speak for all the sullen and faithful lovers living on a sensuous dream...finding hope in grateful love making. I love how you bring feelings and memories warm life, warm kisses. "Tonight I will find that chapter where Goodbyes were pretty lies..." damn that's romantic! Have I ever told you that your style is Xool...it reflects your inner balance. And that dazzling picture above the poem is so you...J.A.B.

A death of a dream fertilizes the imagination to dream again -- bigger, better . . . ones that will be filled with love and light, that will be able to soars to new heights above the heavens . . . where angles fly! Powerful poem dear Charma, 7
