This work was published in 1997 by the poetry guild, Published in the book A Few Precious Thoughts.

It was written for an ex girlfiend at the time, a long life friend who was soon to become my wife. That was off cause before I admitted to myself and everyone around me that I was Gay.

Even so, it's still a special peace of work for me, because Julie was a special person.

All through the night

Kiss my lips take away my pain
I kiss your lips, in the pouring rain.
Take me in your arms and hold me tight
I kiss you so gently all through the night.

So gentle, so in love my love for you is true
Happy am I, loving you.
Love, amongst candles light
To my surprise, you are my night.

All through the night, lights down low
I kiss your naked body, with every candle aglow.
Even when I run out of poems that rhyme
The sun no longer shines.

I will take you in my arms and hold you tight
Kissing you gently, all through the night.

For Julie
