THE QUIET LOVE WE MADE

The first time

And I remember that day so clear

first time I felt you near

That was the day you set the skies on fire

and became a secret queen of my innermost desire

You looked like Venus of Milo

carved out from my very own dreams

A beauty beyond the extreme

a lover so tender and supreme

Purified and pale were your smooth skin

and I felt you so gently from deep within 

There was nothing to hold me back

nothing I would ever have changed

that special day you came in my range

Our words blended in brilliant concert

soothing every particle of my heart

Such an ease was the flow inbetween

like the fragrance from the sweetest tangerine

filling the air with the perfume of love

No longer was time in relevance

neither space in this loving resonance

I touched you a thousand times

and then a thousand more

as our conversation went on a detour

No ending was near in our sight

on that day the world shine so bright

Invincible we crossed beyond a new frontier

leaving all sorrows and despair

a memory so clear

that first day that I felt you so near.
