We talk until the wee hours <br />Under the Mississippi moon <br />Dreams of futures to come <br />Talk of times gone by <br /> <br />We finally give in to sleep <br />Only to make love at dawn <br />Waking in each others arms <br />Such is Mississippi love <br /> <br />We touch and laugh <br />Kisses by the thousand <br />Sighs of rising passion <br />Wonder at the night sounds <br /> <br />Evenings dancing in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico <br />Laughing at the tiny crab scramble <br />Gathering shells to make a wish <br />Giving back to the sea what is hers <br /> <br />In the morning he brings me hot coffee <br />Lights my cigarette with care <br />Then looks into my eyes <br />Says I can't believe you're here <br /> <br />Morning brings a new day <br />Coffee and kisses the start <br />Plans for the life we are making <br />Nothing but love and sunshine <br /> <br />Tears shed for the years lost <br />Laughter for the times to come <br />Plans and schemes for stolen moments <br />Love in the heat of the afternoon <br /> <br />Such is Mississippi love!<br /><br />minette irsay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mississippi-nights/
