An Evening by the River

I saw you sitting
alone that night
Down by the river
mirroring sky

Smell of wild roses
filled deeply the air
I was delighted
I met you there

Wind blew through
the cherry trees
Your hair was messed
by gentle breeze

Your white linen shirt
had few buttons undone
Revealing your skin
with such beautiful tan

You saw me and smiled
and from your fixed glance
All I felt was just
passion and romance

Surrounded by
the peonies
You kissed me lightly
on my lips

And then with ease
and your own grace
You kissed me lightly
on my rosy face

Wind blew gently
through your hair
You looked so handsome
sitting down there

Just one single glance
like by a fate
I knew in an instant
you're my soulmate
