Down the Lane

by Yakori bint Muhammed   Mar 4, 2012


2nd January, 2012.

Taking a stroll on the damp lane;
the balmy ambiance envelopes us.
Birds chirp hypnotic ballads;
soothing our amble down the orchard.

The quiet boulevard leaves an impression,
while hedge shrubs emit lavender.
My left hand feels his firm grip;
bashfully, i slide my hand to freedom.

Engrossed in the silence of each other;
we try to plumb our feelings.
Wearing a turquoise blue gown;
my white scarf cascading to my shoulders.

Down the valley, we meet an isolated abode. 
In the moment of intent silence.
The drizzling sky cloaks us;
putting an end to our peachy stroll.

We stand at the entrance under the rickety porch;
a shade guarding us from impending rain.
My gown billows towards him;
and l sense his shivers like an appetizer.

A foot away, l perceive his cologne;
so strong it almost got me tottering.
His countenance furtively luring me,
my nobility awkwardly hesitating.

Out of conceit l grumble in my thoughts coyly,
while his ardour gets him brooding in his heart.
His eyes wear a lingering expression;
unspoken, his pleads and wishes l could see.

In need of an antidote that is right beside him;
his arms out-stretched to the rare gem.
Gladly l come into his warm embrace;
without a word passions become manifest.

    You have a really beautiful way of saying things, really poetic and very descriptive. I like how you added colors and scents, because it makes the words come alive and it appeals to the readers senses.

    Well done,

    5/5 Ingrid

    Beautifully worded... and the vibes are quite mesmerizing.. lovely, Yakori. This was an amazing part:

    We stand at the entrance under the rickety porch;
    a shade guarding us from impending rain.
    My gown billows towards him;
    and l sense his shivers like an appetizer.

    ^ To me, it feels so real, I mean the scenery.. quite brilliant!

    An absolute delight to read. Such beauty is usually created with paint or a framed piece of work.
    But this is beauty within the confines of your mind thanks for sharing it with us. Beautiful
