Love

You cast your silver net 
and caught my heart so 
under a navy blue sky. 
Your sparkling presence 
brighter than any star. 
As you sprinkle your affection 
let me shelter under your 
loving cascade. 
 
And now we stand on the 
turn of a decade; 
looking forwards, glancing back. 
Hold my hand and take the leap, 
dance along the glittering path 
of happiness before us. 
 
And the light in your eyes 
shines so beautifully tonight, 
my heart is set afire once again. 
And when the clock strikes twelve 
I want you to know I’ll be 
smiling through a candle flame 
and thinking of you my love, 
my one. 
 
And this time I know it will be 
a happy new year, 
because of you...

The clock strikes twelve.
