Meadow Sweet

Oh crushed the buttercups beneath our feet Hand in hand to walk the sweet green meadow To hear the lark and nightingale so sweet Side by side, sit on the stile in shadow To sing with the tinkle of the small stream To laugh as the bees fall, sweet nectar filled Here with you it is more than life’s true dream A touch of hand, a thigh, leaves me thrilled. An angel does touch your most loving face To take you for their own I do believe But no, not then and yet by who’s good grace Twas not the time to go or time to grieve In love a gentle kiss upon the lips. E’er more the fight to grasp at life he grips © GG 16/01/2014

hey, you are waxing Shakespearian on us!!! (can't even spell it) anyway, this is quite a good sonnet and truly gives the sense of longing for that sweet meadow.
