Love pictures

She is a myrrh maid

with scented fingers

and wherever she has been

her fragrance lingers.

She is in fashion

modelling T shirts

she can make you fall in love

until it hurts.

*

Picture love, against the skyline

rising, like the morning sun

spreading out his wings in welcome

there’s room for everyone.

Let’s hitch a cloud and go meet him

rising sweetly in the air

stopping by to pick up others

whose hopes and dreams we share.

*

He comes to watch her

walking down her line.

If she would only throw her feather

he could take it for a sign.

There in the picture

up in his bedroom,

she is smiling just for him

she is covered with his plume.

*

Warm, soft as the summer breeze

holding me

closer to you than I dared to wish

can you see?

the love in my eyes for you.

Now, now is the time to begin

you and me,

together again and forever

always be.

*

I always thought he was a phantom

seeking friendship with a torch

waiting for the door to open

a long time standing on the porch

*

She is a dancer

moving with rhythm,

and wherever she has stayed

folks started singing.

She plays piano

beautiful music,

she will make you fall in love

 until you ache.

*

There, under the lilac tree

kissing me

I never thought we would be in love

you and me

this moment in time for us

to keep and to share forever

memory

of the choice that we made of each other

marry me

*

He longs to show her

his bosa nova

they would dance across his room,

have a mardi gras.

They’d make a picture

two dancers in love

she’d be smiling just for him

she’d be covered with his plume.

*

Picture love, to be a fountain

falling, like rain from the sky

making pools people can bathe in

washing away ev’ry tear they cry.

Let’s all dive in and happily swim,

splash each other with fun.

Surely all nations will join us,

we’ll make room for ev’ryone.

*

He seems to know whose door to knock

that’s why he waits so patiently.

He must have seen I needed friendship

for he shined his torch on me.

*

Sure, as we could ever be

shall we see?

a love story that will never end

you and me

we will grow old together

making the years to glow with love

let it be.

we’ll know we were right when we look back

happily.
