Dream Serenade Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell

I sleep on a flowered perfumed sheet
breathing soft the scent of a rose.
I close my eyes and dream so sweet
of the bud of love which grows.

How was I to ever know
we would wind up more than friends?
How ought I stop the ethereal flow,
the night with star-lit winds?

Sure, I know we live apart.
It seems a crazy thing,
but you have touched my sacred heart
and made it laugh and sing.

God made your love a darling gem,
love's brightly glowing crown.
You are the daylight's diadem,
the bright rays tumbling down.

You warmly kiss my tender brow
and dress me like a queen.
You are all my kingdom now -
the beat of hearts unseen.

You are love on heaven's brim,
the harpist of heart strings.
You are all things, a seraphim
that waves its loving wings.
