Lillies of the Field



Lillies of the Field...  

Lillies  in  the  field
  Incredible artistry they yield.
   Gently kissing the ground with beauty you see
      Hospitably incting frivolity inviting you and me
         Tango the dance of lovers I decree...
Darkness ascends upon the day
  And stillness as the night keeps light at bay.
    Rendezvous in the field of lillies you and me
       Kissing beneath the stars, lovers we be....
Lavishing love and gentle a carress
  Igniting fantasies and passions without duress
    Gallantly riding the passions of love
      Holding onto my love from heaven above.
         The magic of my field of lillies beloved...
Dare the dark - fear the might of the light...
   Antagonize my senses with delirious delight
      Radically exciting my fruitful yield
        Kings ransome for my lillies in the field
