The air is sweeter with your scent, <br />The grass is greener when you’re near, <br />And though your image came and went, <br />My vision of you still is clear. <br /> <br />A fairy came and told me of <br />A woman in the land of gold, <br />And said that I would fall in love, <br />And with her live until we’re old. <br /> <br />Some irises and oleander <br />I gladly gathered up for you, <br />But they could not surpass your grandeur, <br />For you are like a dream come true! <br /> <br />I’ll roam the hills and rippling rills, <br />Picking vibrant wildflowers, <br />Until my basket overfills, <br />And all my pleasure overpowers! <br /> <br />O darling, I’d do anything <br />To touch your glowing, radiant face, <br />To watch you dance and hear you sing, <br />And feel your gentle, warm embrace. <br /> <br />Our lives are short and filled with pain, <br />So come away with me, my love— <br />We’ll swirl in the sun and run through rain! <br />We’ll twirl through heaven high above!<br /><br />Joshua Dinkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/high-above-3/
