the setting sun burns its shadow into the ever darkening horizon
as the cool and soothing breath of your whisper
reaches my ear
and I say a small prayer for you,
Serenissima . . .

second by second, star by falling star, night by night,
you heal me
and I have to ask the magnificence of the heavens what I did
to deserve the ‘blessing’ of you
the crescent ivory moon sighs,
Serenissima . . .

rising ruby sun chases the silence of lunar incandescence away
and in my heart,
you are still softly sleeping
it’s in the wee virgin hours of dawn when I hold onto
the very thought of you,
the music forever in my soul
my Serenissima . . .

  Thank you for the beautiful poetic words.
  I am not good at interpreting poetry but I thank you for loving me and praying for me.
  After all these years, the romance is still there.
  How cool is that. xxxooo

  The only comment I truly wanted.
  My night is all good.
  Love you, Pamela

  Bless you both!
  m~ this piece is so beautiful! Pam is a lucky woman and you are a lucky man. May ‘luck’ (love) be with you always.

  I’m so glad you commented Lynn.
  People feel freaked out with a post this personal.
  I want it to be enjoyed by everyone so thank you.
  Pamela came out on the deck and hugged me.
  I knew she was wondering about the name of the post so I told her.
  It’s the title of a Bob James song off an album called, ‘Restless’
  I played it the other day and thought, ‘what a cool title’
  So there ya go.
