Moonlight On The Waterfall
My Heath and I decided to go for a drive
One night and feeling glad to be alive.
Over the hills we began to climb with care
Nice to feel the wind blowing in our hair.
Let’s take a trip to the falls I tell Heath
It’s our favorite place to sit beneath.
Go right on through the forest of pines
Here’s where we have to follow the signs
Then when we reach the end of the track
Out we get place our packs on our backs.
Night has begun to fall as we reach the falls
The sound of birds as they answer their calls
Heath spreads the rug, the food I bring out
Each of us content there’s no one about
We sit side by side when we finish our meal
And gaze at the stars-emotional we feel
Tenderly Heath plants a kiss on my lips
Eagerly, I touch his face with my fingertips.
Rising we walk to the edge of the lake
Feel the spray on our face the water makes
As we stand arms entwined sharing the view
Linger by the bank a moment or two
Lost in a world of dreams and being with you.

Beautiful picture
Sometimes I make a deliberate effort to 'make a memory'. I can remember on holiday at least 20 years ago getting up early (5am) and leaving our camper van and my sleeping hubby and going for a walk. I can still visualize the cornfield I passed by and the sky so deeply blue against the golden heads of wheat. I came to a estuary and sat and watched the seagulls and small boats bobbing at anchor. Across the river was a farm and a cock was crowing. I looked and listened and told myself.. I will remember this place and this moment forever and so far I have.
Such moments as yours and mine are memories made of, preserved also in the photographs I took at the time.

Such a lovely loving poem

Ooooo... this sounds romantic. Knowing Heath... as the two of you have often reminded us... I was expecting any moment to see petticoat and trousers hanging on a bush next to your rug
A nice poem

Not this time Dee, after Heaths steamy one I thought I'd better write a tame one.

Dear Hine,
I had almost read to the end of this gorgeous poem before I realised it was an acrostic. The imagery with which you have infused your lines takes your reader with you although I'm sure no-one would dare intrude upon the privacy of the setting or the moments you share with Heath.
I hope that you get lots of votes for this superb and imaginative piece.
Edna and Paul are awake now so I must go and start getting their brekkies.
Applause, lots of love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)

Dear Hine, This is a very lovely poem.
You and Heath share a very special love that will last forever.
Just as well you do use the aeroguard Hine and is there really mo snakes in New Zealand? What a lucky country. That and spiders stop me from going into the bush.
A beaut poem dear cousin.
Love Jen

Beautiful Hine, what a lovely spot for a tender moment. The description is tantalizing, well done! Best of luck in the contest.

It's of course lovely...the stars, the solitude of the night, the passion...the MOSQUITOES!!!
How sad that those little critters might actually intercept emotions meant as love and turn them into slaps and scratches.
The ultimate thing in life is to be alone with the one you love...for me at least...but the goal is to have more than one without any of them getting upset!
A beautiful poem.

We made sure we took the Aeroguard with us.

Dear Hine,
A very sweet poem for Heath, and you certainly are lucky there are no snakes in New Zealand. If you went into the bush here there's the worry about snakes.I love the picture. Thankyou for entering out first monthly contest and good luck in the voting.
Love AJ
