White Castle

We got up very early 
On a Saturday in spring      
To go see a white castle
Right next to a blue lake   
Took the train into the city
And walked quite far from there

On our way up to the castle
She stayed me in the sun 
Next to where anemones grew
Underneath a tree where a robin sang  
She stopped and kissed my mouth

By the forest lake that glittered
Hidden by the budding trees
She pulled me to the ground with her  
And stripped me of out of all my clothes
And loved me in the grass

No care if someone saw us
I was out of time and space
Only saw her wild and widening eyes
Just felt her heaving breasts on me 
Against my heart that pounded fast  

She wanted my whole body
Took my head between her legs
My back against the earth
My body under hers 
Under open cloud free sky

Only the mute swans looked on
When we were one in April sun
And I have never loved as much
As when she kissed my burning skin
And said that I was hers  

We never saw that castle
But I was in my palace still
My treasure was her being
And all of her warm love
A love I will remember
For as long as I shall live
