STARGAZERS
I lay there on the dew kissed grass, caressed by
the softness of the gentle night breezes
And bathed in the glow of the night wanderers--
those shining nomads of the evening sky.
Like a million points of light, they illuminated
the darkness of the night. As I reveled
in their sensual beauty, their stardust softened
all it touched, and I felt a growing need
to share the night with you. My heart quickened
as I heard your step.
You, too, had heard the call of that old siren song.
And, as you joined me there on that lush carpet of green,
we basked in moments of such sensual delight,
enhanced by the beauty
of the starlit night.
We have since returned there many times...
to taste again the starlit delights,
to bathe anew in its luxuriant glow
and to taste the delights of love renewed
In the softness of its star kissed afterglow.
