The Nearness Of You To my wife... Always near, ever close by In the warm, tender feel of summer morning, Often without a tiny hint of warning, You are the glow of sunrise sky. A walk in the garden, mind in reflection Your lovely face appears when my glance goes To softness of a newly-awakened rose Blushing in full-petalled perfection. The splendid sun king broadcasts while Sending waves of sunshine born of fire; Songbirds' rhythmic roundelays in choir Ignite me like your amorous smile. End of day; and right on cue, Melodies fill the moving space: reprise Of love lyrics in exciting keys; Life swings with the nearness of you. © 2002 Patrick Talty |
