Just an ordinary life

\nIn her eyes he saw the sunrise
\nIn her hair he saw it set
\nShe was far beyond the pole star
\nShe was Gigi, by Colette<\/p>\n
They first met when young and foolish when the days were long and warm
\nAnd they fell in love together through a rolling summer storm
\nThere were birds in every treetop when they walked past hand in hand
\nAnd he never cracked a punchline that she couldn’t understand<\/p>\n
In her lips he tasted rose hips
\nShe was vitamins for health
\nSo he loved her more than silver
\nShe was half a kingdom’s wealth<\/p>\n
They were married in the morning under skies of Wedgwood blue
\nAnd their honeymoon was golden like a dream of Xanadu
\nThey would spend their lives together learning every little thing
\nAnd her finger was anointed with a gold and ruby ring<\/p>\n
In her heart he heard all Mozart
\nWhen she spoke the angels sang
\nShe was dreams of Cornish ice-cream
\nShe was fruit juice with a tang<\/p>\n
Now the years have made them older but the lovers still exist
\nIn a painting of perfection walking through an Autumn mist
\nNot a cloud on their horizons not a ripple on their lake
\nThey wake up each morning happy with their life of give and take<\/p>\n
In his gaze she sees the heat haze
\nOf the morning that they met
\nThey’ll be friends until world’s end
\nLiving life without regret<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nDon’t we all wish …<\/p>\n
Here is your quote<\/p>\n
“Cartwright of the sapphire eyes and golden hair, Cartwright of the Limbs and
\nLips: he was Petrach’s Laura, Milton’s Lycidas, Cattullus’s Lesbia, Tennyson’s
\nHallam, Shakespeare’s fair boy and dark lady, the moon’s Endymion. Cartwright
\nwas Garbo’s salary, the National Gallery, he was cellophane: he was the tender
\ntrap, the black unholy surprise of it all and the bright golden haze on the
\nmeadow: he was honey-honey, sugar-sugar, chirpy chirpy cheep-cheep and his
\nbaby-love: the voice of the turtle could be heard in the land, there were
\nangels dining at the Ritz and a nightingale sang in Berkely Square”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
