Thoughts of you and me at Langebaan

(after John Donne)

Let us live in love
for a time at the blue lagoon
and to each other pleasures prove,
under a white hot sun and golden moon

where the river to the sea twisting run
and let us there kiss and play
have an own summer season in the sun,
enjoy each other day after day.

When in the crystal waters you swim
like a mermaid you will be to me
lovely, kind and supple and slim
and beautiful fish we will see

and there one another we will adore
with feelings, intensity not being able to be more.

[Reference: “The bait” by John Donne.]
