The Lady Upon The Lawn Poem by Matthew Holloway

And there we lay
Side by side beneath the sun
Both semi naked, skin glowing
We laughed and talked, laughed some more
She looked beyond beautiful
A true goddess, ageless near perfect
And there was a I some ordinary guy
A mortal beside this living dream
Like I have won the lottery
Cashed in big on all three wishes
And we lay there on the grass
A gentle wind kissing our skin
It became one of the moments
Waiting to be a timeless memory
I told her she was living poetry
A muse to all words and possibilities
She turned to look at me, smiled
I was lost in her, eyes, lips, soul
We kissed, gently, lovingly
I felt a passion stir from the depths
Lifting me to a higher existence
And then I awoke alone, in a room
With a half empty wine bottle beside me
It was a beautiful dream I thought
And drank a sip in toast to it
Hoping sleep would return
