The Young Lady And Her Lover Poem by Ravi Kopra

The young lady and her lover
in their country clothes
sneak up on a hill
in an abandoned house
From the back yard near a wall
and an ancient oak tree
the vista in the valley below
magnificent, vast open spaces
They look into each others' eyes
their smiling hearts throb
He sits on a rock while
she leans in his lap
her head resting on his knees
he gently holds her face like a flower
and gives her long gentle
soft passionate kisses of love
she sighs, eyes closed in a bliss
The ivy on the wall and the
anthuriums in the pot
lean towards them and smile.

-Inspired by a Julius Kronberg's painting:
Romeo and Juliet on the balcony.
