And We Are Happy

“And we are happy”    

Draped in dreams of liquid tides
Shallow waters cool the breeze
Toes drenched of vast believing
From grassy banks, soft and pure
Ripples of time pass slowly
Blue sky desires paint our thoughts
Soothing sunlight sparkles
Glistening on the surface
A butterfly lands on your shoulder
Attracted by the daisy in your hair
Happiness touches softly
As you brush its tiny wings
It flutters…as does your beauty

“And you are happy”
  
Your smile enchants me
Mint mocha eyes reflect
Skin glowing iridescent
In warmth felt deeply
Beneath this shade tree
I imagine us…always
Sweet lips beckon
Aromatic Jasmine scent
Tingles my senses
Euphoria in this wildflower meadow
Harmonic blooms sway melodically
Nature’s symphonic movements
And as we kiss…my heart sings

“And I am happy” 

We follow an evergreen shrouded path
Sweet pine on feathered branches
Swaying shadows mingle  
Hand in hand we stroll
Lost in each other
Meandering through life’s beauty
Drinking the sunset
In open field wonders
Salmon and grapefruit horizon
Vertical splendor
Breathing twilight’s affection
Escaping the confines of reality
Grasping love…to never let go

“And we are happy”

Lisa Ricci May 10, 2017 at 1:16 PM Hi. I thought I recognized this. Just in case I didn't tell you the first time around I so loved and admired your execution of the We You I then We. That Chris was a marvelous poetic touch. You might not believe this however I have done that once or twice in the past also but not here. There is everything right about this entry. The words by you the feel of how you make the reader feel and your execution all around. Where would the world be without love.... Beautiful in every way Chris. Chris Green May 10, 2017 at 1:21 PM Hi. I recognize you too. :) Hi there Lisa, thank you my friend. Always your words, your kindness, your friendship shines in everything you do. I am so thrilled you enjoyed this one and I'd love to see your poems that use that style. I can only imagine how wonderful they are.
