Just to have loved you
For a lingering while
That is more than enough.
Just that fleeting sojourn
We shared on a forest path
Gave life new meaning
That I needed from you.
Do you remember,
the day that we first met?
The sun steadily drizzling
Through fluttering leaves,
The riotous orchestra
Of harmonious birdsong
As we fell into step.
By your side, nothing to hide
In sheer naked splendour
Our true selves laid bare
Your voice was so gentle
As you took my hand in yours
Guided and sheltered me
From a jungle of thorns.
You gazed deep into my eyes,
Took me back to a place
Where we’d been together
In a distant time and place.
When we reached the river
And your lips touched mine
I heard the rush and the trickle
Of ages gone by, where
This precious moment
Was reminiscent of travels
In Oblivion’s past.
This was no dress rehearsal
But the real opening act
Of a mysterious drama
Based on historical fact.
So in this moment
of perilous ecstasy
Tranquility found me
And I know for certain
That no other love
Could ever leave me
Feeling quite like this!
