For My Lady

Sultry nights should not be spent alone,

But should be shared with one whose company

Delights the eyes; illuminates the soul,

Completes the formula of "you and me".



Fair music, candle light, a table set

Beside cool waters, laid beneath the stars;

Low conversation, touched with knowing smiles

Punctuated with unspoken dares.



The evening beckons; no plans for the morn.

Let events develop as they please.

Audacity is bred within your eyes;

Familiar rhythms, as we take our ease.



The languid hours pass and we care not.

Scented by night blossoms opening,

Conjoined at hand and heart, we drink the breeze,

Yielding to a sultry evening.
