Making Love To the Night

A melody deep in the forest,
I followed.
Seemingly like a dream,
it flowed.
A whispering song beckoned me closer,
as the tune passed through the trees.
Making love to my heart, my mind, my soul,
as I was embraced in the warm colors of the leaves.
The shadows fell behind me,
allowing me to move ahead.
Listening intently,
by the music to which I was led.
It was like the forest had a story,
that needed to be told,
enchanting and beautiful,
warming this night so cold.
I ran into the night,
his eyes full of the twilight's gaze.
He led me through the path,
that seemed like a maze.
Kissing my lips beneath the moonlight,
making love with the stars all around,
in tune with the mystical melody,
and the breath of the wind's sound.
A melody in the forest,
I followed,
but it was but a dream
that quietly flowed.
