INSCRIPTION: To Mark — Let the poetic sound of moons and stars invade your night thoughts, to give you sweet dreams always, for in your dreams lies the happiness you truly want — hope you enjoy the book, Michelle
Sparked by Michelle’s inscription, Mark reveals his true heart, and replies to Michelle with a poem, vulnerably baring his soul, sharing his sensual dreams of her.
“Dream Lovers” — by: Oleg Zhivetin
I dream I take you under the stars in May
in a Spring night’s breeze in the marram’s sway
on the silvered beach of a white-capped bay
near the mouth of a moonlit waterway
I dream I take you in a tree-filled park
on a matt of fallen aspen bark
to the Summer song of a meadow lark
on a sunny day until it grows dark
I dream I take you by the garden wall
in the dappled shade of a willow tall
on the scattered down of its leafy sprawl
on a crisp, and heady day in Fall
I dream I take you by the oaken mill
‘neath an autumn tree on a grassy hill
I will take you in the early chill
when our Winter comes — I will take you still
Michelle my love I dream of only you
under the moon — under the stars — all year through
here I share these dreams — that they come true
sweeping us away in passion’s sweet taboo
