The Italian Job
I'm feeling dreamy again today
must be the weather, some may say
but my mind transports me back, to a peaceful place
to a place in Tuscany, my dreamland to chase
Its a little back yard, Italian inspired
all the charm of the Med , no travel required
it has elegance and is chic ,to draw in the senses
its my place just be, to dream, if l am tense
A stone path, of course, is a natural must
and terracotta for warmth, a rustic touch
and natural materials, for gentle night dinning
a few citrus trees, give leaves, a fragrant , crush
Its an Italian flair, paved with olives and herbs
sitting on crimson green pillows , for scents to transfer
l'll have a pergola, and climbing plants too
a grapevine and jasmine
of plants that l grew
a set of string lights, for ambience at night
and the vines above tangles, just for delight
and l'll scent the night air , with candles, too
and a small water feature, just in our view
we'll sip in red wine
watching stars in the pool
with lily scented air
in the hours , as it cools
l'll have lavender and roses , to frame little paths
and a small pizza oven, an idea aftermath
and l'll have painted wall tiles and a dwarf lemon tree
its my own cozy spot,
so come
sit with me
