Stars Come Out

Darkness closes in. 

Stars come out

twinkling. 

Here we sit hugging. 

You holding me tight.

Whispering in my ear 

telling me everything

will be alright. 

Telling me you will

always need me

near. 

I close my eyes. 

You look in the sky. 

My need for you 

so overwhelming.

I know not where

you begin

or

where I end. 

Without you

what would I do?

Your whispering 

turn to 

singing. 

As beautiful stars are twinkling.

To your song I start

swaying. 

Golden Slumbers 

you serenade to me. 

Tears I feel coming.

Desire makes me 

want to cry. 

I lift my eyes to the 

darkened sky. 

Is this Heaven

and have I died?

Still you hold me tight

in the darkness of night. 

Strong arms hold me closely.  

As if I would fly off

in the night suddenly. 

As if I could possibly. 

Leaving you is 

something

I do not want to do.

The darkness  

and 

twinkling stars

would leave 

before I do.
