20 May 2017

This morning,
hand in hand, we wandered
through the quiet magnificence
of your city,
its edifices gold in the morning sun

the quaint olde-worlde pub
wrapped its bronze and copper
welcome around us
as we chattered
into each other’s souls
over lunch
  
the afternoon led our meanderings
into the comforting rustic countryside
of grey stone walls and greens and yellows and blues

and then your rainbow-splashed
English country garden
danced its last year’s joys for us

Tonight, high in the black velvet sky
amongst the night’s secret sparkle-dreams,
I float above you, in ecstasy,
on the silvered waves
of the mesmerising music
you wrote for me.

You are an incurable romantic Diana. As usual, your words paint scenes in my head. Lovely piece.

Thank you, John, for your delightful and complimentary reply, and that you expressed it so poetically.  I have been "curable" (for whole moments at a time, giggles).  I am glad you enjoyed it so much and saw it so clearly.

Beautiful romance, and the colors so vivid.
Well done Owl.

You do romance so well, Diana. Not one of my strong suits, I'm afraid.
