The moonlight shines upon her face
while in her peaceful sleep
The secrets that she dreams tonight
will be her's to keep ~
The softness of the the midnight moon
its glow illuminates
The beauty that is seen within
the soul it emanates.

Behold, the epitome of perfection
lays within this bed
She sleeps tonight and in her dreams
is the man she longs to wed ~
A rendezvous within her heart
when the hour is close at hand
As the midnight glow of the moon
leads her to her man.

Her eyes close in anticipation
a smile upon her lips
Knowing that soon she will taste
his tender loving kiss ~
And feel his arms around her
in their midnight rendezvous
Together they ignite the passion
and make all their dreams come true.

"Darling," she cries, as she looks upon
the love upon his face
"With you is where I want to be,
within your warm embrace ~
Ignite in me the desire
and take me by my hand
Show me you will always be
the one who understands."

"My love," he says as he takes her hand
and brings it to his lips
"I never thought a love like yours
could ever be like this ~
I want to always be with you
and feel you next to me,
You give me more than I deserve,
with you I am complete."

With a sleepy smile upon her lips
under the midnight glow
Of the moon that shines upon her face
is the love she's come to know ~
The secrets and the passion,
the thoughts within her head
Lead her to the dreams they share
together in their bed.

Making love at midnight
sharing thoughts and fears,
Whispering together
sweet nothings in their ears ~
As they lay together under the stars
their bodies gently entwined
Suspended in the midnight glow
caught somewhere in time.

Waking in the early morn
from her peaceful sleep
The secrets that she dreamed tonight
she will forever keep,
Close to her heart until the day
the one who loves her so
Weds her under the starlit sky
of the moon's midnight glow.

"When I first saw this set, I knew I had to write a poem to go with it!   It depicted so much mystery, romance and passion....and the result was this poem.   "Midnight Glow" is about not only the idea of love, but the dream of a beautiful love and understanding between two people.   The woman in the poem meets her secret love every night in her dreams, where they rendezvous to a love that only she knows.   Until the day, her dreams come true when she meets the man of her dreams ~ the one she has dreamed about, her true love, her midnight "glow".   But she awakes to the reality that he does not yet exist, except in her mind and dreams, and she can now only wait until she meets this man ~ one who loves her with an unconditional love, a deep understanding of her, a cherished commitment to her, an undying devotion to her ~ ....when they will wed one another in love, under the starlit sky and the midnight glow of love."
