    Bringing stars,
    my lover the beautiful night
    floods the gates of dawn
    with moons and crickets' calls,
    chasing the sun
    around the watery world.
    I swim with the starfish
    under your silvery spray,
    and I will walk up your staircase
    into the embrace of
    morning's warm smile.
    Night, you are still my friend
    after the angry words
    of novas bright,
    and the slanders
    of the heat of June and July.
    Yours is the wheel of the heavens,
    and every angel
    must walk your winds
    and sing your songs.
    I am glad of you
    as long as I have a pillow
    and as long as you tempt me
    sweetly and softly to dreams.

    Hi Dan!

    I liked it, in spite of the couple of cliches that slipped in here and there. Lovely conclusion.

    Wow, now there's someone I haven't seen in a while! God, I can't remember your name,

    The poem was great. I have nothing bad to say about it. I wouldn't change or fix a thing. Except maybe the pillow line. The poem was pretty, and it glided smoothly until the very end.

    Dan mentioned about one of my poems that it had cliches in it. I'm not sure which lines are cliches, would anyone care to point them out for me. I may want to make a poem up entirely out of cliches someday.
