Pierre Édouard Frère French Painter - Under My Umbrella

Listen to poem:
Reluctantly She shelters me I don't wish to intrude Her fragrance I must steal away Bright lavender and oud The pitter-patter Of the rain Disguising how my heart.. It flutters when she is so close But also when we part The journey short My words are slow She tolerates my gaze Or the clumsy gated shuffle As I heap on her much praise My palms so cold and clammy But what am I to do? A simple soul's desire Walks in my shoes Next to you

This is an adorable Poem Sam. Understated, not one bit gushy, just honest feelings. Exactly as a young man might be thinking as he walks so close to a young lady that he believes, outclasses him. An impeccable Ekphrasis. Loved it.
