LA VIE MAGNIFIQUE

LA VIE MAGNIFIQUE

"I cannot rest from travel: I will drink

Life to the lees:"

Ulysses....Lord Tennyson

She travelled with the wind and lay
Once upon a time in May
The sun kissed sand where they sang and say
Her love awaiting at the bay

They sang her song
They danced along
The flowers blossomed and birds tweet
Banquet of gourmets food​ and sweet

They drank and dined
The food n wine
With merry hearts of love
Till stars twinkled above

They lay on the warmth of sand
A far crooning of a weary band
The night with her mystic sky
Endless spirits of affections high

Her dazzling smile his gleaming eyes
The gorgeous splendour of love and surprise
The comfort of his arms around
The sumptuous softness of the ground

Her whispers of love
Of turtle dove
His endless smile
Charming and gentile

He knew he had this night with her
For leaving the shore to travel afar
The ships wud sail at twilight dawn
And he would be gone to quest along

For months before he saw that smile
The gorgeous eyes like depths of Nile
His aching heart would quench and chime
As they lay embarced another time
