First Love

.
the Sun warming my tightly closed eyes  
as I lie motionless in the long grass of Summertime, 
knowing that my love is but an outstretched arm away, 
her breathing now synchronised with my own. 
.
a smile breaks across my reddened cheeks 
as my racing heart decelerates into rest; 
her hand touching my lips as if to withhold my thoughts, 
in vain attempt to bury this memory forever in her heart.  
.
basking in the oneness of these golden moments, 
our eyes meet through the glinting green meadow 
as we each held aloft a ripened pineapple;   
we had managed to outrun the farmer.
