By Skadi

How gently you strayed into my dreams,
I am mesmerized by the dark beauty of your smile
lead me and I will come
I will heed my piper's call

I laugh as you obscure the veil between dream and reality
so effortlessly, my muse,
your love is soft poetry-
my tears assemble
in your name,
at the softness of your touch
I collapse,
enfolded in your arms,
I tremble in your embrace

your name is sacred upon my lips
let me sink deeply into your eyes,
and stay there forever
shrouded in mystery
lulled gently into sweet oblivion,
on dulcet tones that quiver,
waver on,
each note a velvet tone,
resonates,
ascending into the night sky
entwined with your lyre's melody

are petals falling
into the new morning
leaving love's soft memory
in unending poetry
