Lay me down <br />won't you? <br /> <br />Open this folded heart; <br />read every page tonight; <br /> <br />Touch my shinning face <br />for it always gleams <br />in our candle light. <br /> <br />Breathe onto my closed eyes <br />the gentle wind <br />that loves me. <br /> <br />Hold my hand <br />in this night <br />transferring that love <br />hands do; <br /> <br />lay my skirt aside <br />flower-petal style <br />my blouse is milky <br />cloud white <br /> <br />and I see me <br />reflected in your dark eyes; <br />my universe begins to rise <br />and I <br />am lost inside you. <br /> <br />Suspend us on bedroom air <br />softly fluttering in time <br />where we sail those loving seas <br />and land <br />in the dark <br />velvet harbor <br />where we surrender <br />the You and I <br />to the We; <br />our names written across the sky.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/velvet-harbor/
