You and I found a magic land
So we went there hand in hand
Where soft hills we did explore
Limpid pools enticed us even more
Supple trees swayed from side to side
A dark forest welcomed us inside
Where woodland scents aroused us there
We frolicked in secret without a care
Sun’s arrogant glare now was hidden
Quiet whispers were not forbidden
Life’s crude ways were left far behind
And its torments were out of mind
Oh what magic was there that day
We just didn’t want to come away
When I stole that last kiss from you
You said “Don’t tell a soul, that’s taboo"

Sweet exploring, indeed. I love the swaying and scents.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sentiments here....this kind of discovery remains in one's heart forever.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a beautiful day of discovery, back then - and again, today, in reliving it in memory. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteaw how sweet I love this
ReplyDeleteAwwww. so cute. But really, but a stolen kiss that is taboo? Very sentimental poem.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to imply much more!

ReplyDeleteSomething so sweet should never be taboo.
ReplyDeleteaah...what a beautiful piece, draws a line straight to the heart...!! :)
ReplyDeleteexploration in a magic land is full of sweetness...a lovely rhythm too :)

ReplyDeleteI always love a chance to escape into nature. We modern humans don't do enough of it. We might be more sane otherwise.
ReplyDelete"Waiter! A cold shower to Mr Newbery's table!"
ReplyDeletePersonification of the sun reminds one of John Donne's 'unruly sun'-discovery of romantic beauty of nature
ReplyDeleteThat was very sweet, and easy to visualise too.
ReplyDeleteMagic is even more magical when stolen and shared
ReplyDeleteWhat an exploration, it sounds quite enjoyable. I really like the poem.

Hi, really pretty and I love the invitations to walk in the woods hand in hand with my sweet husband and enjoy the scenery. I wish I had the ability to rhyme and create rhythym. Can't even spell these days. You are a very talented poet. ;)
