It Was April

It was April when I met you~
Your eyes as deep as the ocean's bosom
exuding celestial light, 
guiding my chosen path;
As we walked in the cold
your arms were fiery pillars
melting my frozen fears away~

It was April when you saved me
from the silver chain of peonage;
You were my living  hero,
the hands of time that kept me going.

It was April when we walked
by the hazy seaside~
The  night light by the harbour 
glimmered  and faded away
as I watched you drifting away 
with the creamy corals 
softly sliding to the sea.

Somehow in another April morn
I will wake up with your stolen gazes;
Somehow in another April sky
We will share a leisure walk
hand in hand and I will say with a smile,
" It was April when I fell in love with you".

Juliet Ligon May 15, 2021 at 8:08 AM Enjoyed your emphasis on the significance of April. I started dating my love in April and we married in April as well. I'd dread to ever lose him. I like "Your eyes as deep as the ocean's bosom exuding celestial light, guiding my chosen path;"
