Lady Blue

I see her sail towards me draped in blue

Dusk lighting her fine face like porcelain

A living breathing poem here forsooth,

Could I but stop time here and now again

All around becomes irrelevant

As softly on her form I rest my gaze

This angel who from Heaven hath been sent

To give me bliss and take my breath away

The evening breeze invites her hair to dance

And how I want to hold her close to me

As Summer heat suggests to me the chance

To greet the night together tenderly

Her eyes azure meet mine with a spark

I gasp and all my hope is in my throat

As time stood still, the sky will soon be dark

The time is now to tell her what I know

Sweet Siren would my chance with you be slimmer

Were you not my own reflection in the mirror?
