Lover's Realm
There is a place, quite far from here;
Where bushes hide a lonely bench;
A redundant swing accompanies;
Both sheltered by o'erhanging trees;
Like a whisper in the dark.
At night time we were often there;
Would hear few passers-by go by;
Never knowing our true bent;
Little guessing we were present;
In this realm we came to love.
We'd be entwined in nature's lair;
A starlit night embraced our state;
We laid out dreams, ambitious plans;
Held tight as though time's speeding hand;
Would heave us out into the cold.
As chanceless lovers we would fear;
That bitter-sweet imposing fate;
That hour to come where we should leave;
That sacred covenant of trees;
And thus rejoin the human fold.
