Lydia


With the beguiling pallet of memory
I re-arrange your face to fit my fancy
Soften your voice, widen your smile
Shape your hair to frame my illusions
~
There now
Take your place in my dreams
Where shall we meet?
It has to be summertime
Maybe in the evening cool
~
Away from Oxford tearooms
The Queens and the Rose
I will not share you with
Post Etonian chatter
And overpriced Darjeeling
~
That faraway Sunday
In the Vale of the White Horse
Where we asked the ducks
Permission to rest a while
Neath the willow fronds
~
Seeking nervous conversation
You babble Russian poetry
Till I stop the ramble of words
With my lips and we laugh
at the disapproving ducks
~
With the last brush strokes
The portrait is complete
Stowed in a mind crevice
For release
In the lonely hours

Yes indeed, Cari, for sure save this particular dream, and maybe even add to it somewhat when you revive it again. Liked this write.

I really like your way with words on this. Your imagery is unique. I enjoyed it very much.
