Place

this is for my boyfriend, Julian Duque.

There's a place I want to go,
A place I've heard is as beautiful as the setting sun.
I can see it now,
A crystal clear picture in my mind,
There we are sitting on a large sill,
Rain falling softly on the stained pain of window,
He's plucking at his guitar,
I'm sitting calmly in his over-sized shirt drinking hot tea.
Just sitting,
Just breathing,
In lovely,
Lovely Portugal.
I've never been to places other than here and Japan.
The way he says it,
His family has land,
How beautiful it must be.
After a time,
After tea,
I'd be tired,
Drowsy and slumped over my writing work,
He'd pick me up,
Place me in bed,
And I'd wake up in the morrow with him at my side.
How lovely,
How perfect;
How wonderful that place must be.

... this is exquisite poetry ... it has so much magic and innocence and love that it is enchanting beyond measure ... there is a universe of emotion and beauty here ... this is a magic spell at work ... and the image is simple but ravishing ... painted lovingly with perfect detailing ... it comes alive like a scene from life ... the end is stunning too ... simple and yet like a dream come true ... lovely verse ... a beautiful dedication ...
