Captivated La Poesia Romantica

The stars are jewels Leading to your eyes. A city of diamonds On the glass of heaven That smiles joyful On the slumbering world When darling you lay Upon the crystal sands Where the lilac waves Draws a sweet melody Like your lulling voice That intrudes my heart With the echoes of love That parades The ceaseless darkness of my soul. As the wind breathes Upon your soft hair And then it sighs... Through the dead night Breathlessly Into the lonely spaces Of your waking hours. Your smile beckons me closer By the pure rocks and quiet waters Where there you wait, you solitary rose To you my soul I do bequeath! In a single heart beat With just one breath To spare a kiss A slow deep kiss Just like moonbeams When it lips The leaping waters Above our drowning feet. I die helplessly my dear beloved When the blue moon Is clasped upon your cherry lips Which reposes in the deep of silence Like a sleeping flower Kissed by the beams of heaven. I love when your eyes smiles at me When it blushes like a rose. It searches through the cold mist To find me by the twisted vines Oh how those big bright eyes would glide Down to the empty pathway Where the honey suckle sprays Wonders aimlessly Through the unsound lonely streets Then I'd fall helplessly Into your wide arms Into the wholeness Of your unsearchable sweetness. Oh.... then I'd fall helplessly Endlessly Breathlessly Into your wide arms Into the wholeness Of your unsearchable sweetness Bearing but a single white rose For you.
''The sweetest flower that blows I give you as we part. For you it is a rose For me it is my heart. Federick Peterson''
