her head on my shoulder
my heart on my throat
i thought i was day dreaming
a gentle wind sailing our boat.
it seemed too good
to be true,
but for once
my sky wasn't blue —
it was burning red,
bright and bold
the colour of love
or so i was told.
my heart seemed so full
my hand in her hold
the moment felt so right
like a poem written in gold.
