Kiss melike the dawnblushes the petals' soft pinks,gradual illumination that candle-flickers inside of me. Chill the red wine.Don't cut red roses. Just be the soft drizzle of rain upon love's garden.

Gently, I shake my spring snowglobeand shrink like Alice into the dreamworld. Meet me there, beneath our treein the shady grove beside the stream.For a while, simply lie with me,as we listen to the birdsand each other's heartbeatsand feel the wild grassesunderneath our bare feet.This paradise with you I'll keep,these stolen moments in which weso easily … Continue reading Keep Us Here
