Still As the Moon

Under the sunset the lake was still as the moon 
a Reflection like a fine painting 
mirrored in the darkness of the night 
Sitting by the edge of the water, 
my head upon your chest 
listening to the beat of your heart, 
like rain falling from the sky 
The stars, like pure crystal,dangling from above 
Cast a soft mist to your chocolate skin 
Your hand gently caressed my body, 
the night air is very warm 
Wrapped in your arms, I calmly feel safe 
By the warmth of your love 
Your eyes spoke of words unsaid 
I knew I had found the love 
I have been searching for all my life 
That night, as we sat by the water edge 
I fell in love with you over and over again
