A Rendezvous in The Park

A rendezvous in the park and white swans on the pond;

Near the Canterbury bells ~ in the garden I am fond

The ripple of water as you cross over the bridge;

And scent of sweet lavender and a yellow buttercup ridge~

 

I will be dressed in black blended into the dark

On an ivy covered bench waiting for you to embark;

I will be waiting for you under the chestnut tree;

Waiting to give you my love~to give you all of me~

 

Just the moonlight on my hair as the blackbirds sleep

Falling into your arms~on your shoulder I will weep,

If we wish upon a star maybe we can creep;

Into a dream lost forever~a forever lovers sleep~

Oh so sad! She can only have her lover for but a short time and then they must separate again. I love the imagery of the pond, the flowers and the blackbirds. Beautiful! (and yes, I am playing catch-up today.. lol)

When you have time, dear.. I am just way behind on my RRs and playing catch-up today =)

I like the symbolism in this piece Rose especially the use of the chestnut tree which has long been associated with longevity and abundance. The lovers chose their meeting place well methinks...
Love this and the ambiance you created.

And again you nail it. You paint a beautiful scene and then place a real person in it - not a trope or a strawman but a living breathing person.
I admire you rwork greatly.

Enjoyed reading this--read it twice!
I particularly like the contrast of darkness, or black, with the light-however dim-embedded in a forever lovers sleep.

Lovely. :)

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much Lolita...and thank you for taking time to visit today...Rose:)

[xxlheart]

wow....you truly write so beautiful that I have no idea why you post here. I find not only your subject matter (mostly the heart) but your rather unique style (classic at that) to be refreshing which isn't easy to do with poetry about love and lust. amazing!
