WHERE THE YELLOW FIELDS GROW

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”

COME AWAY WITH ME – NORAH JONES

 

I love the bones of you

of course I do …

I love the way those little golden flecks

dance in your smiling eyes

I love the rays of sunshine

that caress your hair and make me sigh

I love to be with you

in everything you do

to be a part of something

bigger than me; a puzzle; a clue

to piece it all together

to run away with you

to walk beneath the dappled shade

of the Jacaranda tree

the blossom hanging thick and scented

the air of love that sets me free

to lay lithe-limbed and amorous

on sprawling camomile lawns

the softness seeping into me

my eyes half-closed and stifled yawns

drowsy with this love for you

I fall asleep perchance to dream

a secret smile upon my lips

like a cat that got the cream

and as the golden hour falls

and dampens dust with jewels of dew

I linger longer than I should

to savour those few last moments with you

and in the dawn that breaks next day

I feel the warmth of early sun

and realise with joy in heart

another perfect day's begun.
