The Poet's Romance

Backpacking in the break of dawn
hold your hand in a silent storm,
with you I can rule a mountain,
hold you tight for I am certain
we can stand the raging clouds,
make peace with the bliss of nature.

Kiss you on rugged a cliff,
walk you through a silent reef.
We will make our throne on soft moss,
crown you with white roses
splash the stars on all your hair,
count the freckles on your cheeks.

We can sleep below the moon
wait for love to rescue us.
We will dance in the wind with angels,
have feasts with snow and honey.
We will laugh at all the danger,
fill the world with pounds of joy.

With you I can forever be
anything you want me to.
Take a step away from reality,
and be a part of my imagination,
for I have glimpsed at paradise.
