Water Lilly

A water lily caught the sun
The light and I became as one
Transcending to a flight of muse
Struck a fire lit a fuss

And reign began to sweep my mind
Another kingdom of a kind
Where wine and roses filled my view
And visions of a phantom you

You lay within a field of green
My heart gushed love to paint the scene
I knelt and took your hand in mine
And in my mind I built a shrine

I knew it was a fantasy
But could not leave the ecstasy
Placed my finger light your lips
And said don’t talk I would a sip

You rose and placed a kiss on me
And ever since a lily be

Wishing a good morning to you, Sweet Sonneteering Sigh Guy! I could scarcely breathe as I read the beauty of your words.

You have a sweetly romantic soul, my friend.
May you and your Water Lily be as one in the sun of your dreams.

JM,
You are the nectar of my heart
The puncture of an angels dart
The candy that my mind would crave
A slave unto each word of rave.
Need I say more.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Okay I confess, that if a man came along with a line like that I "may" just change my determination to remain single to the end of time.  Oh heavy swoon  (( ^ ~ ))
