THE LONELY PROMENADE




The lovely serene atmosphere,
Trees swaying everywhere,
Breeze laden with the fragrance of flowers,
Takes over the senses, overpowers.


Inbetween the trees I see the stars,
Glowing like fireflies in a jar,
Bright street lights creating an aura of romance,
The waves in heightened frenzy, dance and prance.


Sound of night birds and crickets
Singing from the nearby thickets,
No other soul in sight,
My heart longs to see your face bright.



My passions yearn to hold you close,
Within my arms enclose,
Embrace and see your beautiful face,
Attuned to the environment, full of grace.



The more I sit here
The more the longing for you dear,
My heart aches and pines for you,
My love awaits the union with you.



The lonely promenade 
Invites me to serenade
You, sing a loving sintata, 
Dancing with you, my inamorata!
