The velvety grass stretches before me
And the carpet leads as far as I see
The grass sparkling with fresh dew
Slips between my toes, making me feel anew.
My spirits soaring on high like a lark
As I run quietly through the hushed dark
Softly going and anxiously glancing
Till I see a face towards me advancing.
As we caress in the pale, lighted sky
The dew drops seem to dance and fly
The cricket and birds all seem quiet
And the world around us seems to be silent
On my midnight rendezvous.
Author notes
rendezvous (rän'da-voo)
1. A meeting at a prearranged time and place. See Synonyms at engagement.
2. A prearranged meeting place, especially an assembly point for troops or ships.
3. A popular gathering place: The café is a favorite rendezvous for artists.
Aerospace. The process of bringing two spacecraft together.
It is a French phrase and I used it mainly as the first example. I really had no clue why I wote this. This was right before I go to bed and my thoughts were pretty scattered. Anyways, I hope that you enjoyed and thanks for reading

my friend
A very pretty girl writing a very good poem.This poem is very good as it tends to focus on love and nature together.That's cool.

Very pretty ... I like how almost every line had some kind of nature observation present... you have a nice soft and serene tone here... making it easy to slip into this poem. The one thing i'll complain about would be the use of the word "lark"... try and avoid that one unless you've worked it in REALLY well... It's one of those ones that's hard to justify as something other than a stretch to rhyme with dark.
Other than that, this is an excellent piece !

very rich
Ouffffff - to look at nature not as in an hour.. your poem is not in vain.. and a vintage of night melodies! Chaste elevation of thoughts impelling a motion of pure thoughts. Was it a vision or a waking dream? -
As I already told you I LOVE IT!! LOL (told you I'd get on) LOL
I had a lot of messages/comments on stuff LOL
Love

Darling
You write of hearts
ticking tock in dark
pushing into parks flying
discovery stop its crying.
Yes, you write light
setting your mood right
for passion needs less
save your heart confessed.

wonderful imagery, i could see the whole scene unfolding! I particularly liked the use of the word seems ("the whole world seems silent"), it made it even more magical for the couple. I loved it!

Very well done. I love the imagery and the variety of senses hit in a short work. (Sight, sound, touch) It does a very good job of capturing the emotions involved.
First rate. -
Thank you for the comment. You are not the first person that has told me that about being too short. I hope though that it was ok. Thanks for reading.

great write
Beautifully written. Precise & two the point, flowing in unison. words bring up a most beautiful pulsing love. The need for caution is there but very subtle. I really enjoyed this poem. Thanks for sharing, Keep up the good work. -
This is a great write.
I love the scenery and imagery that you used here.
Thanks for sharing this!

very nice rhymes, flows nicely, has some good choice words and I like the scenery you performed under.. thank you for sharing..MM
-
I'm sorry, I feel though that sometimes, poems seem to go and on. I wanted to write this quickly and yet clearly. Thanks though for taking the time to comment
-
clearly expressed, yet too much in a hurry , wish the poem is a bit longer
-
Wow... if this was entered into one of my contests, I'd give you gold without a second thought. This is perhaps one of my favorite poems that you've written thus far (and I believe I've read all of your poetry) and in my opinion it's your best. The rhyming was perfect, the way the lines fit perfectly together, the description is astounding, and your word choice is absolutely incredible. I also, like how you incorperated that french phrase into your poem. It's brilliant all around!

Hey chelsea,
This is a very intersting poem. I loved how you were very discriptive, and into this poem. When I read this I felt like I could actually go where you were at, feel what you were feeling. Great job with this poem.
