A Happy Landscape Poem by RIC BASTASA

waterfall on the cliff
white doves flying low
the plains grassy and
flowers blooming and

a brook runs beside
a shade of this big tree
where you and your
beloved are so close

his head resting on
your breast his hand
holding your hand as
you move your face
closer to kiss him and

his kisses you back
on the lips and you
gaze to this happy
landscape of peace
and quiet:

love fills the air,
and both of
you say the words

'i love you very much'
'i love you too....'
