Mountain paradise

The cool waters, the rushing waterfall and two lovers enjoying each other

 

 

Mountain Paradise

By Jack Ivey

 

 

Cascading down the mountainside

The crystal waters free

Flowing forth to quench this thirst

So deep inside of me

 

In perfect stance I hear the rush

A shimmer faithful glow

To hear the splash of all that’s good

Now falling down below

 

So white of foam and ripples pure

I wade in splendor mist

In natures wondrous bounty true

This peaceful daylight tryst

 

The waters cool upon my skin

A midday sun does shine

In shadows cast of dancing limbs

Of daydreams I do climb

 

Naked in this hidden place

Among the shining stone

I hear the mountain waters rush

And feel I’m not alone

 

The faintest whisper calls to me

My name I soon do hear

As now the girl with golden hair

Before my eyes appears

 

With nothing but a robe of white

She smiles tenderly

One foot she places in the pond

My waiting eyes do see

 

Her robe now lying on the ground

The beauty of her skin

Her silhouette against the sun

I beckon her come in

 

She loves the feel the water brings

It starts her mind a flow

Out here among the vibrant green

In natures perfect show

 

In silent swim without a sound

Upon the surface glide

Until she finds her way to me

Now right here by my side

 

Her lips so full and red like wine

A hint of amethyst

I stare her deeply in the eyes

And then a tender kiss

 

My arms they reach to hold her tight

So close I need her near

To feel the beating of her heart

Within the waters clear

 

So quietly we listen to

The sounds the forest brings

Flowing winds and waterfalls

And birds about who sing

 

Here in our mountain paradise

With skies so clear above

We share these moments that we live

Within each other's love
