Enchanted By Your Song
by
Dwayne Pagnotto
Your lustrous hair is soft and silky, interwoven with strands of golden light.
Framing your presence with an aura of beauty, glimmering and ever-bright.
Your eyes are very gentle like those of a dove
With just a glance you enfold me in the wings of your love.
Your caress is more tender than a baby's touch
That is why I wish you would hold me so much.
Your skin is purer than the unbroken snow
I weep in the sunlight to see you go.
Your voice is softer than the cry of my heart
Which withers like a flower each time we must part.
Your lips taste like a blossom which in paradise grew
So that your kisses are eternally sweet and new.
Wherever you go you leave a fragrance behind
The alluring scent of tamarisk honey on which the goddesses dine.
As your cheeks tinge faintly with a springtime blush
All of nature grows quiet in a sacred hush.
Then while I lay in the grass gazing up at the sky
I could hear you sing me a soft lullaby.
As my soul became sad and I drifted off to sleep
You wiped a tear away, and left me a dream of you to keep.
