Happy

I counted each bone in your fingers as you ran them through my hair.. your lips played a merry tune I almost knew., and the soft warm winds blew through us, in horizontal horizons too vast to comprehend. The flowers in the field looked on, drenched in summer heat.. and I was content to let the minutes slip on by. Oh how I love you, do you know that? the days will find us here again and again time will allow us this one request, I hope... Are you hungry?, we could go and have some lunch.. we've already had our dessert. No, she said.., let's stay with the flowers and let the sun have its fun.. a little longer won't hurt. I like my friend happy, and happy was her name that day... keeping in tune as her fingers continued playing.. The weatherman says we're going to get a storm, are you ready? I am, she said, I've known so many before. I smiled at her, and she smiled back.. and content to let it be.. and so glad my happy let me.

A very comforting soothing romantic write which gives such a clear message to those who want to hear it. It is the small pleasures in life, the afternoon sun shining on you, flowers that grow all around where you sit on the grass, a contentment only experienced through the eyes of love.

Where is the go lucky at. Or is that part of LSMFT Lord Save me from Truman. Did you try to go to VMI and were given the sign which was high and need no alibi or policy which is Blue Sky in a county which is dry.

So smooth, so romantic and reminds of a romantic day once I had in my youth. *Twas late summer, the breeze a charm.* The sky a vast, bright glowing blue.* Her sparkling eyes, her raven hair.* We were the world just us, we two.* She pleading, with her loving stare.* My sweet angel, my dearest love. *As we dreamed of heaven above. Your poem a fav....
