Chamomile
So sweet the smell of Chamomile
Kissed by the passing breeze above your shining smile
The light of your silent lyric lingers
While golden tones enhance our warm desire
Outside the sun-soaked window
My thoughts splash upon the path and rise
To paint a panorama of time filled brevity
Inviting memories that brought me here
With you across the table
In the mists of steeping tea
Our cups sit filled with gratitude
Of lilting reveries
I sip the flowering Chamomile
It saturates my senses
In the endearing light
That washes upon your soulful face
While I listen in the glow of your silent lyric
Our tenderness brings me home.
