When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.
For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind....."
Donovan
................................................................................
Come away with me, to a world of our own
where we'll be happy, and the wild deer run free
we'll live in our secret haven, of tranquility and serenity
and watch the skylarks spiralling high, with liquid bubbling call
as Atlantic coasters come rolling in, with thunderous roar and spray
I'll take your tiny hand in mine, along the silver sands and dunes
and braid your lovely hair, with flowers so rare
we'll have not a care, as divine moments we will share
walking barefoot, through the sun kissed shallows on the shore
collecting precious stones, and seashells of ornate design
while a warm wind ripples, and skips along the bay
I'll show you the hidden island, where the gray seals love to bask
as dolphins and porpoises, swim freely in schools of mystique
and I'll kiss your sweet lips, for I know you are mine
exchanging lover's vows, that will stand the test of time
for we will have eons of time, to discover ourselves
journeying together, we'll sojourn so sublime
where the purple heather blooms, and golden gorze captivates
and the dunes stretch out, like pearls along the sea
our circles of fidelity, we'll pledge and bind to our God
and as you sit contentedly, in my reassuring arms
we'll gaze far out to sea, where the gannets skim the surface
lost and mesmerised, as infinity stands sentinel in silence
and you and I will know, as the sun blazes gloriously in the west
that nothing else matters, but you and I in eternal love

Peter, the beach has never been more intimately suggestive with braided hair and bare feet, wet lips to kiss and seal the lover's vows as they pledge their eternal love before God, their necessary witness. Adults, almost as children carefree, in this pristenely penned scene where imagery is as sublime as the sincerity ringing clear this all encompassingly beautiful expression of love. Your lady must be ecstatic and eager to make this dream come true!
Love,
Taylor
sheer paradise, everlasting love encapsuled in the most enchanting
and stirring panorama of sea, sand..serenity... and abiding love
and devotion...ad infinitum! Descriptions are captivating and
enveloping; one can almost hear the lull and sway of wind..sea..
and lovers entwined in each others perpetual rhapsody. Great write.

Beautiful poem, peter
When you find a love eternal then the world paints brilliance into your hearts and nothing can NOT be blissfully beautiful again. I'm a firm believer that through centuries we keep finding that love and that spirit again and again ....that's why dejavu has a meaning.
Peter...you are a charming man.
Shalom,
Susan
This sounds like paradise. You have written this so well...
