By the River Rhine

The path was lush, the sun was high
The playful river flowing
The waves cradled the golden rays
With youthful faces glowing

The people moved, the mallards swam
But time for me stood still
For right beside me, hand in hand
There bloomed a daffodil

The air was calm, the flowers blushed
Their perfume filled the air
The only one my mind discerned
Adorned her silken hair

My heart, a quiv'ring liquid was
When jeweled words she spoke
Still honeyed sound they in those scenes
That memories evoke

Our hearts were locked in an embrace
As we fed splendid swans
How profusely I thanked our fate
For that one golden chance

The swans with noble grace sped on
Across the river streaming
So has my life moved under me
And I have been dreaming

I fear not constraints that bind me
Spatial and temporal
For my love is pristine and pure
Profound and eternal

With its meanderings, the Rhine
Must meet the steadfast sea
So shall our love survive the storms
And she'll be one with me

Wow. You have such a way with words- I know I tell you this repeatedly in all my reviews given to you- but really it blows me away! Everything comes to life. You are the provider and care giver! My favorite lines were: Our hearts were locked in an embrace/As we fed splendid swans. Imagery my friend is exactly what is shown in this piece! I love nature. Well written!

The beauty and depth pf your poem can not be properly described with words alone. I hope the "She" of your poem has been able to hear for herself such blissful expressions of endearment and shares your passion.
Fantastic write!!

You use your words here to paint imagery line by line. Beautiful expressions of the world, nature moving and flowing, and love... love that lasts.. love that is wondrous and eternal. Wonderful and vivid!
