She came softly in the night,
Floating
gently through my dreams Like mists
upon the sea.
A shapeless form before
my eyes
She drifted close, then
moved away
and still her face remained unseen,
A fantasy implanted deep within my sleeping soul.
A gentle breeze stirred the curtains near
the open window,
The moon glistened softly
in the dark...and she returned..
Closer now...
she came on unseen wings of silken threads..
Until at last my sleeping eyes could see
the
silhouetted shadow of her face.
I heard the
music of her laughter
as it echoed through my ears
She reached out with graceful hands
to
gently touch my sleeping eyes
And, as
if by magic, I could see though still asleep.
I felt the softness of her lips
as they caressed
my waiting cheek,
Her warm breath upon my
neck sent
burning fires through my soul,
Her hair
fell down across her face
as she leaned
slowly 'cross my chest
And every hair that
touched my skin left fire in its place.
Her tender touch felt cool as ice,
and light
as falling snow
Lightening Flashed across the skies,
And the Wind began to blow.
I heard the whispered words she spoke,
I
smelled her sweet perfume
And I looked into
the fiery eyes
that seemed to light the room..
Again I felt her gentle touch
against my sleeping face,
I seemed to melt and float away
to some enchanted place.
I followed her through smoke and haze,
Through
emptiness and gloom,
We flew upon the stormy winds,
we flashed across the moon.
Through the darkened skies we danced,
From star to star did skip,
And still
I could not see the face
that held her
laughing lip
My hands reached out to touch her,
But she vanished from my sight,
Leaving nothing
but the memory
of when She Came Softly In The Night...
