SERENADE OF TWILIGHT
The stars in your eyes, love, I tried them on for size.
They shone as bright as diamonds,
how they mesmerized.
And when the sunlight narrowed, passing deep
into the sky,
You wrapped me in your tender arms,
a serenade of twilight.
My devils and my demons, they packed up
all their things,
And tumbled from their lofty heights
like tangled balls of string.
And when the dusty day had vanished deep into the moon,
you plucked my heartstrings with your fingers,
lovely was the tune.
The dreams in your heart, love, I tried them on for size.
They fit me like a hand in glove, a warm and sweet surprise.
And as our footsteps coalesced, echoing through time,
I knew that I had found a home, a refuge most sublime.
The bright light of your spirit, love, I tried it on for size,
and found what I was seeking, a passion undisguised.
You wrapped me in a tender web, naked, warm beside me
and like a shooting star divine, I felt your presence guide me.
The orbits in your eyes, love, I tried them on for size.
They shone as bright as gossamer, how they mesmerized.
And when the sunlight fractured and dissolved into the sky,
you wrapped me in your gentle arms, a serenade of twilight.
