Loveliness
caught me staring
vivid emerald eyes stared back
unblinking
asking the unasked
touching my soul
deeply
saying she understood
approved
of this visual tête-à-tête

Meandering stream
rippling surface current
beneath antediluvian oak
laden with vibrant green leaves
nature's awning
a blanket spread
impending lovers
cool gentle zephyr
unable
twin passion to impede

My trembling hand she took
to her breast
natural crimson lips touched
my bone dry mouth
lingered there
tasting of jasmine sachet
tentative tongue
scorched mine
set off
simultaneous sighs

We have some time
whispered mouth against my ear
hot against passion spent
tangled skirt
twisted pants strewn
hodgepodge
here and there
I knew not words
to answer

Old am I now
life lived did survive
never forgot
nameless girl
ancient oak
summer days of love
tender and good
jasmine smells
memory haunted by her words
We have some time

You must have been a cutie pie Jerry.
I enjoyed reading about this encounter of yours.

Happened almost like I wrote it, Victoria, I was, shall we say, inexperienced . . . She took care of that, and like she said, "We have some time." Thank you for your kind words.

The old oak smiles.
What memories surround her skirts of green

Memories, memories, memories, may we use our youth in such a way as to be able to recall oh so precious memories. Thank you Emma for being here.
