excerpt from: Deep Waters

by Dahni

Little fawn - Graceful swan - Leaping fish - Twinkling wish

Come here - Come near

To the one I love.

Let her see in soft moon's glow

images to make her smile and think awhile

of all I'd have her know!

Let her rest in peaceful sleep - Slumber embrace her and keep

Til'

Morning's kiss upon her cheeks

with strands of golden rays through her fiery mane

Oh, to be the singing creeks

to wake her softly or gently falling rain

to cleanse her silken skin or fruits of passion for merry heart -

pressed to her lips!

Oh, to be her rainbow or the earth beneath the feet she walks

her shadow - her rocks!

Oh, silver wings, carry me to her heart

her breath is the wind beneath you

touch her with love to never part

embrace with all the true - Words of comfort and cheer

Words, crystal clear and forget the past

reach for the present and feel and be

all the love in me!

Oh, let me be an eyelash which views

and touches near the beautiful blues

of - My DEEP WATERS!

But -

You can lead a horse to waters,

But you cannot make it drink

You can salt a heart;
Make it thirst,

But you cannot make it think!

You cannot make a heart to love, if it says no

You cannot make a heart to feel, if it must go!
