Two Clogyrnack Love Poems

tonight, will you dream of freedom
to lie in my arms' strong kingdom
and delicate bliss…
please do not dismiss
each sweet kiss
love's ransom


love's dreams

if I were tomorrow's shadow
walking behind you, silent doe,
quivering gently,
your eyes shine brightly…
this surely
I would know…
