Laurence Read Poems

Autumn walks on crispy morn

Wrapped against the chilly breeze
...

On a starry night with you I wish
To stand beneath the moon so bright
And gaze up at the sky above
To hold you tight as my love
...

More dazzling than the stars
More stunning than the sun
Prettier than the moon
Angel, you are the one
...

Quietly hushed, comesgentle night,
And thus the dim lit moon and stars alight.
And there she lays, the most beautiful lady fair,
in slumber sweet, caressed by the midnight air.
...

You start my day with a bang
Your messages to fill my pang
I long to read each word you say
A lovely way to start each day.
...

As I walk with your hand in mine, I see the most beautiful paradise known to man,
My eyes water at the magnificence of this garden like land,
Everything looks as if it's a dream beyond the farthest span,
Let's take a walk through paradise as I hold your hand,
...

As the sun soars high above
We sat upon a grassy bank, the river
flowing gently by, nearby swans are gently gliding, what to scene to be in love,
...

You truly are a lady fair

One to whom I cannot compare
...

Your lips as soft as the petals of a rose,
were brushed with a coating of delicate spice
So natural is your beauty and grace,
And so lovely and vibrant your face,
...

All wrapped in beauty's form
A dazzling lady to behold
With grace and poise, oh so fine
Stands this princess, so divine
...
