Lovers Wish

A splendored thing the mind foresees
Two lovers lay ‘neath the trees
Embraced in each others arms
Engulfed in each others charms

A rich thing lay there before her
More so than frankincense, gold and myrrh
Such beauty lay there before him
To love her is his only whim

To behold a touch so soft and pure
Like doves their racing hearts do soar
Oh, to float with clouds so high
Then lay back and hear each other sigh

If I were her and you were he
I’d love thee till eternity

Kat, you have the touch, to touch us much, with your awesome words, to be seen and heard, written so well, if you read they tell, what was in your eyes, there in my mind, to read your poems, of many kinds. Another lovely write, James

But for the syllable count this would be a beautiful sonnet... hell, who cares! ...it's brilliant as it is! Tender language and sumptuous images. I fall at you feet!!! Keith (PS if you have time, please take a look at 'Nightscapes; a tribute to T.S. Eliot.) Thanks!!!
