Long ago, and once upon a time
I looked to the skies and found you
As you danced through the clouds in my mind
Filling the moonlight with the brilliance of your smile
And erasing the darkness with the sparkle of your eyes
Your arms stretched through the heavens and found me
And in a blanket of stars you held me tight
Wrapped firm in the warmth of your embrace
Promising to keep me till morning light
We waltzed to the song of crickets
As they played their love's serenade
Feeling the tenderness of your touch
In the wind as it gently carressed my face
Hand in hand we strolled through the fields
Of lovers dreams and couples desires
And with a subtle glance, you stole a kiss
That ignited an eternal fire
As a glimmer of light kissed the sky
I turned to find that you were gone
I wiped the dream that settled from my eyes
And reluctantly welcomed the dawn
In the back of my mind a memory remained
Clouded in a mist of first morning's dew
Of a time long ago, and once upon a time
When I looked to the skies and found you.

Their eyes meet,Slowly lips touch
Tranquil waters become an ocean of desire
Each touch ingnites a raging fire
Bodies tangle in a dance of ecstacy
In each others arms for an instant the world is still
Two bodies bound for eternity as worlds collide
Cries of passion drown out the night
Their search is over

Two lovers torn apart...by unimaginable frustration
The skies darken as the storm clouds begin to roll
Not hearing the desperation...In one anothers words
Never heading the warning as the winds begin to blow
Intending to stand their ground...with such determination
They are deaf to the echoing thunder as angels sigh
Words of anger are like daggers...striking their mark so true
Lightning burning up the blackness as it bleeds across the sky
The lovers feelings are battered...and their souls are oh so bruised
Their screams are all but buried as the storms fury flies
In bitter defeat they cease fire...the anger born of such passion
As the world pauses and heaven shamelessly cries
In their eyes an ember burns....oh so bright
Their tears wash away the stains of distrust
The lovers without the other...filled with sorrow and despair
A life apart is a sentence...to both seems to unjust
Clinging tight to reborn desire...the weary lovers embrace
The clouds part and anger's storm wanes
All their wounds are healed ...and in love they stand complete
Again blessed by one of life's little rains
Hold tight to Love...for if not watered with care
It can slowly wither and die
It's a gift from God... to be handled with care
For who are we to make the heavens weep and angels sigh.
