Velvet Dream


    Ardent colors melt into the velvet darkness,

    a play of subtle fragrance in a wakeing dream.

    Vision of mystery stirring gentle memories

    of inner realms long forgotten.

    Touch the beast of sorrow with grace,

    that noble heart, silent in his fires of love.

    Rich patterns of precious joy, dance in a wondrous voice

    to blend the song of yearning that sparks the dream alive.

    Shadows of fullness lay softly on the dim edge of sleep,

    tempting the dreamer to sweet distraction.

    Whose passion's promised kiss of tender breath,

    would taste the orchid loveliness of thee.
