In the Still of the Night

 

In the Still of the Night

In the still of the night,

Candlelight; firelight,

A soft and radiant hue,

Snow densely falling,

Moonlight obscured,

Safely procured,

Inside blanketed,

You and I,

Embers glowing,

Cheek to cheek,

A warm embrace,

Now face to face,

Finally,

Nose to nose,

You smile,

I smile,

And, eyes twinkle,

One soft kiss,

Two soft kisses,

Blisses!

Held close,

Sleep closes in,

You win!

Champion of my dreams!

Again,

And, again,

And, again!

I love that!
