"Bouquets of Tenderness"

 

Speak to me, my love

And quiet this longing in me

For the likes of you.

Though you are far away,

In dreams I behold your sweetness.

The fortune fate gave you to me

When first we met.

It is like a lingering in my heart

Like a starry-night kiss.

 

Oh! Such sheer delight

You bring to me!

Such bouquets of tenderness

Fill me

With just the thought of you!

 

Come near me now,

And I shall inhale your presence

Into my very being

Holding it in like the breath of balmy Maui air.

I feel the freshness of your being

So close to me.

 

Arise, my heart, and meet me yet again

within this wonder-filled vacuum you create in me,

And, just see what joy you'll find

Just feeling what I feel,

In only thinking of you this night.
