Summary: In response to Jane’s observation that I should write ‘moody’ and ‘serious’ more often, here is an oldie written several years ago before cynicism set in!




Let me lie with you, and please let me stay
in the warmth of your arms, till the break of the day.
Let us spin dreams till the sun melts the dark -
fantasies shared in the depths of our hearts.
 
Dawn comes too quickly and night ends too fast,
the pleasures of twilight were not meant to last.
So, let me lie with you and give while I can -
let me try to express what I don’t understand.
 
We’re two individuals joined at the soul,
though my knowing of you makes my being seem whole.
That’s why when I’m with you I hope that I show
that I’d happily give all that’s mine to bestow.
 
So, let me lie with you, and please let me stay
in the warmth of your arms till the breaking of day.
The pleasures of twilight were not meant to last -
the dawn comes too quick and the night ends too fast.
