Love Poem: In the Open

In the Open

I placed it there within her grasp
My hand to love her, she held tight
We walked along the hidden path
As dark was defeated by moonlight
Jasmine scent, it lingered strong
Through evening hours, what a treat
My girl and I, alive with song 
Were walking on to our hearts beat

With a loving look, she then spied
A field of lilies, our bed for night
Where there to lay and love reside
We’ll slumber there until daylight
Awaken then to a new day’s sun
To yawn, stretch and greet the day
We unite again, make bodies one
As there’s no shame for love’s display
