I find myself drawn to our cozy love nook
Nestled so quaintly beside the quiet brook
As the sweet scent of flowers permeate the air
I recall the time you placed one in my hair

I watch the water lilies dancing about
Amongst the tiny bubbles from friendly trout
I think of how we used to dangle bare feet
Cooling our heels and more from the searing heat

A soft breeze blows gently caressing my skin
As a melancholy ache stirs from within
Long gone memories that deeply hurt so good
Of a perfect love lost yet not understood

I gaze into the water and look for me
But just a mere illusion is all I see
A somber blank expression now dons this face
Riddled with thoughts of another time and place

I find myself drawn to our cozy love nook
Nestled so quaintly beside the quiet brook
The sad sound of silence now permeates the air
As I sit with my memories in despair

Such warm reminisces, Miss Pinky, that took me far beyond the sadness...as in these lighthearted lines:
quote:
"I watch the water lilies dancing about
Amongst the tiny bubbles from friendly trout"
...Sweet.  

Lookie here, o' divine one, you need to stop listening to that sad piano stuff...k? Here then, Miss Pinky, toss this around some and see if it makes you a tasty salad. It's on me, so you won't need your purse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcuYoZug5iM




...just bein' Bluesy

Beautifully expressed.
Love that line "hurts so good" because it says so much.
Well done, enjoyable romantic read.

Eric

true love never looks after it's own interests
