Analysis of Sound Of Falling Water

Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)



Sound Of Falling Water

Sound of falling water
Falls delicately this morning
Soft petals of your name
Repeat in my mind
Echoes of the night before.

The night reverberates of love
Cascading gently
As the sensual showers
Of so many affections
Lingers on my body.

So we are here once more
Water softening us
We kiss and blend feelings
Reviving our passion purely as
What we create anew.
