moonlight high sierra roads the car radio plays summer nights were long even longer than the summer days sleeping bags in the trunk her perfect smile on passenger side arriving at a deep forest grove after a long and dangerous ride with the car top down the smell of fresh mountain pine we listened to our favorite tunes we drank a lot of our favorite wine her dark enchanting eyes lost within the spell was our love just an illusion it was hard for me to tell the smell of her chestnut hair the feel of her body on mine ignoring the simple truth it was easy to be so blind looking far into the heavens knowing our future wasn’t bright holding her for the last time shadows forming in the moonlight |

Your writing was vividly descriptive and engaged all my senses! I was thoroughly enjoying the midnight ride but was then saddened to think that shadows were rolling in and that it was our ~ oh, see how much I got into your story! lol ~ I mean, yours and her last time. Great writing! Giving you a warm, welcoming hug, Earth Angel  |
