One Enchanted Evening

I appreciate Mr. Richard Rogers for inspiring this title and for all those who sang the song "Some Enchanted Evening" :)

One Enchanted Evening

a dory small 

two   -   still fishing 

quieting their universal substance

so to understand the fueling  

of red wine as 

bold and joyful as blushing cheeks

a certain apprehensive bliss

where thoughts become thin white wisps 

melting into the blue drifting twilight

lapping ocean sighing

two oars tapping 

into the hinterlands

One Enchanted Evening

This poetic tale wisps you back in time to a place and era when I too shared my first enchanted evening. Funny thing about these occurrences, they can happen anywhere at anytime. I remember standing side by side with a girl from school. We were at Dallas' Love Field watching airplanes come and go. It all seems like a dream now.
Thanks for this wonderful write, and all the memories.

A bewitching write, excellently penned of an evening so special spent with somebody so special during a fishing trip. Love the personification of the "lapping ocean sighing". The visual detail is simply magical and paints a masterpiece for your reader of the evening which was so beautiful. I so enjoyed reading. Lovely work, dear poet. Thank you for sharing this little gem...

This is a most ‘enchanting’ poem my friend. Sitting in a dory sipping wine to the sound of water lapping against the sides, it doesn’t get better than this. The version of the song you shared is my favorite one as well. Happy Thanksgiving dear E. xxx
