THE CERISE OF MY DREAMS

If I can see a crescent of love in your eyes
which can glow into a full moon……..

If our love is so dearly rare not to
invite me to love you twice or a second time……..
So deep, not any other word can describe it……..
So strong, not to break like glass
yet so soft like white light falling on it……..

If we can delight in our love
more than when one creates history –
O Times Square is history to New York !
(O Right now I am in Times Square with these words).
Inviting jealous winks of eyes, common and extraordinary,
Jealous of zealous romance……..

If our smiles can make Monalisa smile
more than the hand that made them……..

I think this would be
the cerise of my dreams of having you !
