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.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

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
