A Summer Reverie
As I close my eyes in a reverie
a beautiful woman suddenly appears;
she offers her hand as she comes to me,
and urges me to forget my fears.
Her red cotton dress flutters in the breeze
as it drapes her body, I can see her silhouette;
her pleasant demeanor puts my mind at ease;
such a beautiful woman I won’t soon forget.
With a wink and a smile and a yellow rose
she nods her head inviting me to pursue;
down a dark path which she only knows
for reasons leaving my mind to construe.
The path was narrow having many turns,
and lined with thick foliage along the way;
steps taken with care as one quickly learns,
and neither of us had too much to say.
At the end of the path a sight you couldn’t miss;
a blanket on the ground and a bottle of red.
The moments that followed were full of bliss;
leaving thoughts of romance dancing in my head.
But suddenly without warning she walks away;
leaving me to wonder if it was all a guise.
She left behind her yellow rose to stay,
and my reverie ends as I open my eyes.
