Invitation

I wrote this poem for my wife while I was deployed to the Persian Gulf.

I'M INVITING YOU INTO A WORLD
IN WHICH YOU NEVER KNEW
I'M OFFERING YOU AN ENDLESS DREAM
UNDER SKIES OF BLUE
WHERE EVERY MOMENT IS MAJESTIC
MAGICAL IN A SENSE
WHERE NEVER WILL YOU BE ALONE
AND THE LOVE YOU'LL FEEL IS ENDLESS
SO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DRIFT AWAY
ABOVE WHITE CLOUDS OF VELVET
INTO THE STARS ABOVE THE MOON
BUT DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT IT
RIDE WITH ME INTO THE NIGHT
ON THE WINGS OF ANGELS
BUT NEVER CAN YOU FORGET THE FLIGHT
WHERE LOVE AND LUST ENTANGLED
SAIL WITH ME UPON THE SEAS
OF DANGER AND DESPAIR
AND LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
AND SMELL YOUR WIND TOSSED HAIR
FLOAT WITH ME UP TO THE SUN
TO DANCE UPON THE FLAMES
TO FEEL THE HEAT TO FEEL THE PASSION
AND NEVER BE THE SAME
GLIDE WITH ME INTO THE BREEZE
OF ROMANTIC WIND
AND FALL WITH ME TO THE BEACH
TO MAKE LOVE IN THE SAND
LIVE WITH ME IN PARADISE
ENJOYING SUNSETS ME AND YOU
I'M INVITING YOU INTO A WORLD
IN WHICH YOU NEVER KNEW
