The Night Of Van Gogh

Eyes

Eyes chasing eyes

There you were taking your chances

With daredevil glances in the night

Stunned by the moon

Drawn by the flame

Caught in the act

Of love's oldest game

And warm

Suddenly warm

I felt the heat of the night

The rhythm of light across your face

Kissed by the wind

Won by your hand

Two shot the moon

So it began

Yes

That was the night of Van Gogh

The dazzling dancer of promise

I left the clouds far below

To return once again

To the lips of delicious madness

As you came

To me

Love

Unended love

Yours is the nature of giving

The true art of living on the line

You are with me my dear

More than you know

I touch your lips

You touch my soul

Yes

This is the night of Van Gogh

The dance through the cosmos he promised me

I leave the clouds far below

To return once again

To those lips of delicious madness

You smile as you come

To me

There you were taking your chances

With daredevil glances in the night
