After Sunrise from Rue Apollinaire by Alan Arthur

After Sunrise

Sweeping around our bodies
The wind was chased by our night bright eyes
Over the water, to where it could laugh
At the early morning harbour farers
Battling waves below Greycliff House

Kisses leapt around the bench,
They swung through giddy circles
Across the dew grass, strawberries and wine,
Danced with lips and arms

The rising sun over ran our food,
Daylight threw kisses and memories
We breathed in the new day, the bird song rose
The boats played on the wind wash, the city lights checked out
The air was scented, dawn scented, the first delights of lovers

Kisses leapt around the bench,
They swung through giddy circles
Across the dew grass, strawberries and wine,
Danced with lips and arms
