Love Poem: Together Forever

Together Forever

In The Grass…

In the shadows of oaks and birch,
Beneath the yearning pines
Where my heart was first undone
By breathless whispers, kisses
Gentle wishes and senses
Pressed against thoughts, sweetest
Blessings, rich with passionate
Caresses like melting moments
Infatuated by the deepest gaze
Into the soul of another, the one
Who caught my heart within his grasp,
His precious stroke of tenderness

There beneath the struggling brush,
Where petals produced the finest buds,
Singing grace through my spirit,
Flinging doubt to the curb – in rhythm
With the sun beating out feelings,
Furious passions bringing me the music
Filled with racing heartbeats, 
Risking every stardust memory
To understand – to believe – to agree
With this wonderful that was caught
By the breeze, the winds of chance
Promising that, at last, there was the 
Together that meant more than happiness.

There, in the grass…
Where we first touched hands,
Felt the groaning moments bruising
Lips with the promise of a lasting
Romance, the trust – security in the flames
Fired by this wonderful that can only be
The miracle of life’s dream dancing freely
In harmony with forever – together
