I hear your voice
And I see……..

A burst of sunlight
Dancing with a kiss
Of the breeze….

Flashes of fireworks
Cascading through the
Illuminated sky…..

Waters falling
In the seas
Like sweet and mellow notes
Sung by children in
A choir of perfect harmony….

The mysterious moon
Shining over souls of lovers
Swooning and dreaming,
Blessing their sighs
With surge of emotions
So strong yet so frail
So beautiful beyond words…

The world is in an hourglass
Revolving carelessly
In the palm of your hands…..

Sands of the Sahara
Turning into silver and gold….

The sensual splendor of Rome
Captured in the tender curve
Of your smile….

The magnificent majesty
Of the vast galaxies
Of the universe
Enhanced in the language
Of your eyes……

Day embracing night
And night surrendering to
Day,
All in a second
Through the gestures of your hand….

These I see and so
Much more….
For you have given me wings
To soar through
Heavens of immeasurable
Heights…..

And I say to myself
This must be love…
My heart can not deny
This must be love,
It must be true
And it is such a precious
Pleasure to fall in
Love with you

Paris,
Romantically calm…
Lovely in January…
Lights up
When you arrive at
Her doorstep…
You promised me a postcard
But it sounded to my ears
Like a promise of springtime
And roses,

Then I say to myself,
This must be love…
What else could it mean…
All my being arrested
With a word from your lips…
This must be love, my darling…
It must be so,
And it is such a precious
Pleasure to fall
In love with you…..
