As
she walks
through the
virgin
forest,
motes of
dappled
sunlight
dance
through her
auburn hair.
her green
eyes are
like limpid
pools
reflecting
the
greenness of
the forest
that
surrounds
her. Her
ruby lips
are as soft
as rose
petals. Her
fragrance is
so heavenly
that even
the forest
creatures
stop to
breath
deeply. As
she treads
softly upon
the fallen
leaves, her
melodic
voice causes
the birds to
stop their
singing.
Flying to
perch upon
her soft
shoulder,
they join
her in sweet
harmony.
Leaving the
forest she
enters into
a grassy
meadow.
Glancing
about she
calls to the
deer, who knowing
they are
safe in her
presence, approach
her and
allow her to
scratch them
behind the
ears.
Glancing up
at the sun,
she knows by
its position
that she
will soon
meet her
lover, for
the decision
was made to
meet in the
glade at
high sun.
Soon her
lover
appears clad
in black and
silver, a
yellow rose
in his hand.
He presents
his gift to
his lady and
is quickly
rewarded
with a soft
sensual
kiss.
Enraptured
by her
fragrance,
he begins a
medley of
soft kisses
up and down
her satiny
smooth neck.
Her warm
body
responding
and pressing
ever harder
into his as
their
passions
begin their
euphoric
journey
upward. Soon
there is no
sun, no
meadow, only
the two of
them locked
in a reality
they have
created for
themselves.
and there in
the grassy
meadow he
gives her
his ballad
of love.

And
I love you so
The people ask
me how
How I've lived
till now
I tell them I
don't know
I guess they
understand
How lonely life
has been
But life began
again
The day you took
my hand
And yes, I know
how lonely life
can be
The shadows
follow me and
the night won't
set me free
But I don't let
the evening get
me down
Now that you're
around me
And you love me,
too
Your thoughts
are just for me
You set my
spirit free
I'm happy that
you do
The book of life
is brief
And once a page
is read
All but life is
dead
That is my
belief
And yes, I know
how lonely life
can be
The shadows
follow me and
the night won't
set me free
But I don't let
the evening get
me down
Now that you're
around me

& Romance
