The Captains Gaze

So many nights When I close my eyes You’re in my sights I can’t disguise The pull, the swirl Captivating breeze Of an island girl The thought, oh please Let time stand still sun do not rise The things I feel Under evening sky’s My one and only Know who you are Dream companion You light the stars Bliss falls like dew Sound of your voice This pillow’s for two I’ve made my choice Contentment’s release The body’s drum beat Let’s calm the beast In this night heat Whispers exchanged Our secrets sealed Of midnight flames Never revealed... Dark beauty be What pen can’t describe And a thousand seas Will never hide The Captain’s gaze Upon the shore Nights follow days Pink lips cry more ~Lyric Man Note: Written to a friend who’s inspired by music!

Your thoughts caress "an island girl" and it is clear to see, she inspires you. This is so beautiful and tender. Romantic! It so good reading words from your talented pen again, Lyric Man. I have been called "Sailor Girl" because of the song "Brandy You're a fine Girl" That will always be my favorite song. Just because.. :) Your words bring a smile. ~ Brandy
