With you
It's like eating fresh strawberries
Outside in warm summer rain,
Sheltered by cedar limbs.

I look into the deep brown shadows
Of your eyes
Where I find myself,
For a moment I can't breathe.

I am not uncomfortable,
Nor terrified.
It felt rather like slipping

Under an electric blanket,
On a feather mattress
After having slept a lifetime
On concrete.

I am reminded of green grass,
And dry spots under trees during rainstorms,
Here we are fools eating strawberries
Juice dripping down our chins.

Oh Amanda...what wonderful images this conjures up!
Especially love the above stanza.

Good, especially the way you end.

8-) Love it! I could picture this poem in my head. It made me smile. Thanks!

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
