When Stars Aligned in an Autumn Sky

This night of stars with moonlight glow
has brought us a memory from long ago
 
When stars aligned in an Autumn sky
And we were young lovers who heard a sigh

As we quenched our hearts from love's wellsprings
In our dreamers' flight on breathless wings

When our hearts became blooms of intimacy
And all of love was a warm feast of delicacy

That opened the guarded door of surrender
to bury us in raptured arms of our love's ember 

Where our souls danced on the edge of fantasy
and time was lost in molten mystic majesty

Beneath the universe of Autumn's starry arena
When ardor's ambrosia covered our hearts patina

From each kiss shared in enchanted sincerity
Revealed by the star-lit sky and its clarity

That led us to a night of stars with moonlight glow
And brought us a memory from long ago
