Chanson D'Amour

Like Orpheus and Eurydice we dwell in realms apart Without a Charon to help us cross the great divide But my love for you sings to the beating of my heart And your charms I still hymn with praise, with pride. To your beauty, naught can compare. Your silken, flowing tresses, Your long and golden hair Which forever impresses. Your eyes were orbs of brightest blue Shimmering and serene as summer sky. Whenever I did gaze upon you You were never shy. How full your lips, such a deep red, So inviting and so tender Where I would long to pillow my head Your kisses to engender. Like twin gazelles ,your ripening breasts Did gambol and slip beyond my desirous touch Yet you loved my fondling of them at rest And left them warmly in my clutch. Beneath the peak of your Mons Veneris Deep within your lightly golden forest Lay that sweet and sacred oasis Where I oft did slake my thirst. With close, entwining branches Our trunks were just as one Caressing close in amorous advances As we lay beneath the sun. A life of dreams now is all I own And I do often wake up with a start Knowing that our life is done, Knowing we remain apart.
