Laura Leiser Poet Lyric

Chance Encounter

Here in the garden, raindrops are falling                              
scents of springtime fill me with wonder
then I do see you, under the arbor
you look up as I pass by.

Your eyes they hold me, lovely and tender                            
here my heart stirs, with hidden passions
I smile shyly, you offer flowers
we sit and watch the rain.

We share together, as if we're not strangers                        
with an ease so free
for our hearts meld truly together
I with you and you with me.

Time passes slowly, raindrops stop falling                             
sunlight fills our eyes with devotion 
your face is lovely, I cannot leave you
you’re the one I'm looking for.


Even then, I'd be lost without you                                     
restless as the sea
stay with me, for you are a treasure
more than life could ever be.

Here in our garden, through many springtimes                     
even now, our hearts are filled with wonder
that chance encounter, under the arbor
we found our love, so free.

Judith S February 18, 2018 at 12:33 PM Just beautiful Laura! I do like that you took the more romantic line. This piece spoke to me in a more minor chord. Congratulations on your placement!!! ~Judy

Gregory Richard Barden February 18, 2018 at 10:11 AM This is exquisite, Laura, and it took me away with its flow and rhythm ... so much descriptive content and imagery, and the story is charming - loved it! Deserving win, my friend! :-) <3

Craig Cornish February 17, 2018 at 3:12 PM Laura, reading your lyrics was very special with the melody and romantic for sure!----Perhaps a theme song for an upcoming movie the boys are doing!?---Love it Laura Leiser February 17, 2018 at 6:30 PM Thanks, Craig, for my placement in your contest!

Carrie Richards February 12, 2018 at 12:01 PM Ahhh......Laura, this poem was so lovely, and romantic !! Isn't that music fun to write for? It's funny how we both had strangers meeting and falling in love ! You under an arbor, and mine where they were at a crosswalk !! I played the music while reading yours.....you nailed it !! Beautiful !! Good luck !!!:)

Silent One February 9, 2018 at 12:43 PM Wow.. I've never seen a song with so many poetic lines... The first stanza is just brilliant.. This should get first place... Laura Leiser February 9, 2018 at 1:27 PM Ah, Silent...you are too kind! My words here are simple, but the song begged for simplicity. Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging words :)
