The Hills

(On feeling somewhat Pre-Raphaelite)

 

Fold upon fold of long low hills
between me and the golden evening light
bathed in mists, curved flanks
seem golden garbed limbs at languid ease
lovers lay before the gates of heaven

 

(With these sunsets and the atmosphere of the place,
it is easy to see why these hills have long been considered mystical.
The ancient celts carved the standing stones of
Stonehenge here before transporting them to Wiltshire.
Rejects, part shaped rectangles, still litter the hillsides.)

Once upon a time
a meadow lay where
one Sunday afternoon
she loved me forever,
the grasses have gone
as has she, fallen
into the unreliable mists of memory
In its place, houses
populated by lovers
whispering forevers

Waiting

vacant bench awaits lovers
