Underneath This Tree

Underneath this tree, on top of this hill Where I once sat, when I first saw you And my heart was smitten within me For the beauty that my eyes met Filled me with a passion so great As to almost burst my heart Underneath this tree, on top of this hill Where more than once I sat, waiting for you to appear Knowing too well that you would And deep within my heart, reciting all I would have told you If only I was bold enough But with glazed eyes I walked away into nothingness Underneath this tree, on top of this hill Where I once sat, with you in my arms As eyes talked to eyes, and my heart whispered to your soul As we promised each other, the world of our future By each others side, just us two. Underneath this tree, on top of this hill Where we promised each other To make this love go the longest distance And shine the brightest And remain undying Long after we die.

A beautiful love poem, Cyrus. I liked the repeated line but my favorite line was, "As eyes talked to eyes, and my heart whispered to your soul." A very soulful line my friend. I'm following you poetry now and hope you will visit mine poetry. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
