Let Me See the Stars
Let me see the stars twinkling bright
hidden in the shadows of a cold dark night.
Measure the distance of where you be
to a point directly focused above me
stretching open arms across the sea.
Here my voice whispering among stars I claim
speaking your familiar beloved name.
Let the wind carry my heart to your wait
to that place where you arduously create
smiling, waiting at the garden gate.
Breathe in the jasmine and magnolia
scent the air sweet and unashamed in ambrosia
graced by the color and simple grandeur of a nova..
Let me see the stars where angels fear to tread
and as I raise my hand to my head
share a selfish moment or two or three in your bed.
