My Love

Be still, my love, be still; 
rest your  weary eyes and listen to the silent  
melody of midnight skies. 
Fold into my warm embrace, 
place  your hand in mine, within my arms,  
within my heart, security you’ll find.
Let shadows dance between 
the  shards of moonlight on your skin 
as  Lady Night with one eye open, 
smiling, glances in.  
Ever watchful ever knowing, 
sweet dreams she sends your way,
 in the form of  tiny shooting stars, 
performing a ballet. 
But know that should you lose your way
 ‘neath the blackened veil of night, 
I’ll be right here, within your hand, 
around you,  holding tight. 
 Together, let us fade to black, 
to the comfort of retreat, 
to the place our love has made it’s own,
 to the silence ‘tween each beat...
