Rainbow
I remember this place bygone in antiquity so well,
As the sea slurped the cliff mellifluous on the swell;
As we sat bemused in ourselves, on the cliff rock…..
The seagulls swooped in their nest to dock!
The sun on the horizon dipped in salute,
Wafting came in the lilting sound of the flute;
Dusk was settling in as the watch strained to six-
The fishermen’s wharf was busy the sampan to fix.
The stars were peppered and the heavens were alight,
The moon glowed majestically in its floated flight;
We gazed at each other clasping her warm hand in mine,
Dreams of silence weaved together unspoken words left to shine!
Your laughter surfs across the resonant sea as the tiara slips,
The dew treasures your kisses as it softly falls on your lips;
My brush glides across the canvas on the easel as I behold~
Your eternal splendor cascades slowly as I capture you in gold!
Pleasure and ecstasy catapults to the fore, misery and sorrows cast away,
I ponder in astonishment as I portray your soothing beauty in sway;
Tomorrow and ever after as I hold your hand walking in the fading light~
Do remember this place where we painted the rainbow in the twilight!!
