The end of summer quickly came,
this life would never be the same,
hand in hand, hearts in rhythm as one,
flesh absorbing the warmth of the sun,
whispers upon her sweet soft skin,
the heart is ablaze, deep within.

Our bodies lost in a sea of wildflowers,
off the roadside, a place we made ours,
every passing moment, seconds in heaven,
our sinful life, god  must have forgiven,
accepting your love as you do mine,
your lips as sweet as canary wine.

Swept away in this loves tide,
rising behind on the far side,
fluttering about in the sky above,
as if somehow fueled by our love,
we tried to count, to many to see,
floating so delicate, comely and free.

Like a silent song, so elegantly played,
all around us, begins their serenade,
I feast your eyes, seeing loves decree,
there in our gaze, so plain to see,
threads entwined, in the blink of an eye,
she and I, under a butterfly filled sky.
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”
Nathaniel Hawthorne
