An idyll

A gentle breeze disturbs the trees as you gaze in my eyes
The dappled sunlight trickles down your hair
A summer’s day to wile away in sweet and gentle sighs
And I have found a perfect love to share
A lazy walk and idle talk a pause to kiss your lips
A conversation made without a sound
We share a smile and kill a while with wayward fingertips
And cannot see the beauty all around
The afternoon will go so soon the evening take its place
And I know I shall still be lost in you
The stars above will see our love reflected in each face
As deep blue skies adopt a midnight hue
We’ll leave at last and lose the past the time before we met
The future’s filled with everything and us
A day like this, a dawn of bliss, we never could forget
The start of life without the pain and fuss
It may just be in poetry that we can live this way
But I believe that we can have our chance
This love may seem a silent dream but it will come to stay
And you and I shall have the final dance
