A love story inspired by the wonderful city of London.

While looking at the Tower of London
you give a strong promise,
promise that you will come back
before the clock signals the Yuletide

While you are far searching for dreams
in St. Paul Cathedral, I’m busy praying…
praying for your wonder success
more wonderful than the London bridge

While strolling along the Hyde Park…
play with birds in the Regent’s park
I could recall my treasured days,
days with the grapes of my heart

While gazing the Thames river…
eager to see your smile again
As cold wind gave me an embrace
whispering what I’m waiting is near

When the choir had sung in Westminster Abbey
the Big Ben stroke to twelve
the lonely snow started to fall
covering the lights of the dark street

    London can be a very beautiful city, especially when you have fond memories of the most positive aspects of being there. Your poem puts me in mind of places I was pleased to visit and photograph in London, and places I still want to visit when I return there.
