By fountain side

Image
Oh, chum I do recall that long forgotten time, When we would rest beneath the maple's shade, In the vesper evenings, tranquil and sublime, Where mountain breezes thru  brooks did wade. The cooling mountains sent their zephyrs down, While valleys warmed beneath the gentle air, A tussle between the breezes, dusk’s soft crown, Till midnight's stillness hung the sky most fair. From sweet slumber, you woke me with a call, "John, hark the nymphs who sing by fountain's side," Their heartfelt love chorus, in rhythms I did fall, With a piece of music  that held us 'till first light. In summer's eve, unfogged by time's own hand, Beneathl lo maple's shade, we dreamt unmanned. ------Poet Affaq 

if you say yes

If you say yes, I'll sing through all my days, And play the violin to serenade your ears. If you say yes, my life will blaze with rays, And light the night with candles, void of fears. This eve I'll tell each secret of my open heart, And in these flowers, only you shall bloom. Your fictions lie within, like a work of art, Give me your love, dispel this doom and gloom. Bestow on me a haven in your ardent breast, As gentle breezes awaken me from sleep. To you alone, my soul's desires confessed, In dreams of love, our vows I strive to keep. So say you yes, and I'll sing life's sweet tune, To honor love beneath the silvery moon. Poet Affaq
