A ROOM WITH A VIEW
“Venice, it's temples and palaces did seem like fabrics of enchantment piled to heaven.”

PERFECT DAY – LOU REED
Reminiscent of an Italian villa
where once I basked in innocence
terracotta roof tiles warmed in the sun
the Summer-esque air filled with luscious scents
orange blossom flowers and lush French cherry
fruit trees of many different kinds
culinary delights; reimagined recipes
to indulge; to experiment with love in mind
the essential oils of citrus fruit
mingled with those of rosemary leaves
that brushed or crushed in loving hands
memories so sweet are now retrieved
brought to mind and savoured in
this paradisal garden
languishing; eyes half-closed; time slips by
shrugging off Winter; clothes discarding
echoing cries of overhead gulls
birds on the wing and wisps of breeze
curling tendrils of my hair
loosening limbs; relax with ease
the pigeon watches me from his viewpoint
a sentinel of all he surveys
how I love this time of romantic notions
that paint pretty pictures of halcyon days
these moments will be one day cherished
and warm my bones in Winter times
for now I am happy and content
luxuriating; pondering in a world that rhymes
there's nothing more poetic than a wildlife garden
all the sounds and smells of nature raw
no need to try; all is forgiving
it is; just is behind closed doors
a secret garden of many rooms
scented with rose and sumptuous blooms
velvety; sensual; grass-filled meadows
wildflowers; small creatures and delicious echoes
there is no room here for earthly worries
no place for anxious thoughts; concerns
all is forgotten in these sweet moments
nature is heavenly; it's where I learn
to live every moment as if it's my last
to begin again without delay
to laugh; to love; to find a balance
I am enjoying this perfect day.
