Landscape Lullaby

For the ears of an angel.

The fragrance of your skin

has never filled my senses,

for the divide is mountains,

high craggy monolithic

edifices, that from afar

look like a serene scene

to hold one's breath over.

A place of calm, and nature

and beauty and you. A place

where sweet smelling life

simply grows from your soft

green fingers.

And I, still intoxicated,

dream of your scent,

your fine flaxen hair as it tickles

my face, your breath, your laughter

and the warmth of your smile.

I still dream of you waltzing

on my skin

as I hold close your 'virgin' curves

and feel so utterly complete

with your perfect breasts

resting in my hands

as we find a just sleep.

A place of calm, and nature
and beauty and you (...)

I love this phrase. This place is beautiful and serene, and somehow all these, and more, serve to describe her. She has become an adjective, a symbol of the indescribable.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed she is just that, indescribable! Many thanks.

Ah dear Einstein sometimes the dream becomes reality then recedes into the decades never to be seen again. So dream often we must! Many thanks.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes .. i will take that advice ...starting right now! :)

This comes across as a beautiful dream John. May you continue to have them as sweet as this. Filled with romance and longing. Fine free verse.

One of my favourite sayings is 'We Can Dream'. Many thanks Chris and good Sunday, bank holiday morning.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank goodness for dreams John. They can transport us when the going gets tough. Enjoy the sunshine. Are you in your garden today?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Aye am in the garden and after a little bit of clipping and tidying I intend to let the sun spill over me and stroke me to sleep as I struggle to read lol! Hope you are out and about on that river!

[Chris Shaw]

In the marina. Let that sun caress every exposed part of you :))

[wordman]

sounds like a sweet place to be

[John Alexander McFadyen]

We can but dream sometimes Ron; many thanks.

sometimes dreams stay just that...dreams...and maybe the dream is better than the real thing...
imagination can often take us places we just can't go in reality.

I think that is a sage piece of thinking Jacob. Many thanks.

I do like this gentle romantic side, compared to *Broken* this is the yin and yang of love, but we do need them both for balance, without the ugly side, we would have nothing to equate the beauty,

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Aye that is true laddie. Do you recall 'Creamola Foam' and did you know it came in an Irn Bru flavour? Only the Scots (Glaswegians in particular) could pull that one off! Cheers bro!

[gram linski]

do not ever bastardize the milky white thighs of home, that is creamola foam, with the brash Glaswegian coppery irn who?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You Sir are a heretic!

[gram linski]

and you Sir, I will see you next Tuesday

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I don't leave home on Tuesdays so CU next Thursday!
