Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

© UllswaterDaffFest 2017//Another Place Blog

Fireflies Or Fairies

O to be in England
in the early days of spring 
when the golden daffodils 
steal the heart and make it sing.         

Roaming the Lake District  
far away from urban noise,
by cascading waterfalls
enamoured of nature’s voice.

Up the craggy mountains 
or on hills in shades of green,
watch the sun as down it slides  
veiling tarns with sanguine sheen.

O to be there with you                                   
holding hands in amber light
basked in aural twilight field;
daylight melting into night.

Fireflies or fairies
My mind cannot well discern.
Feelings surge within my soul,
Nature sighs with me and yearns.

Time and breath both bated
as your lips touch mine with bliss;
stars aflutter, for they know
Love is born with your sweet kiss.

Tom Cunningham May 14, 2020 at 10:47 AM Well written romantic collaboration Paul and Eileen, I was there last year for a few days. It is as you discribe; a beautiful place and of course I visited William Wordsworths House in Cockermouth. You wouldn't be disappointed if you ever get the chance to go. Tom Paul Callus May 20, 2020 at 8:59 AM Thank you Tom. My wife's mum came from Whitehaven, we used to go to the Lakes quite often when my in-laws were still alive. Haven't been there for about 5 yrs (we now stay in a B&B in Keswick.) ~ Regards // paul
