As Lovers Do
The first rays of dawn bring a garnish of warm soft hues
that coat the meadow in a glistening mantle
as we journey on beckoning spiraling slopes of fallen dew
to see the sunrise from the highest hill
as lovers do
With tender fingers securely enveloped in joyous wonder
like an oyster shell protecting the rarest pearl
found in the emotional depth of serenity and wondrous beauty
when a red pastel sky turns a rich velvet blue
Inviting us to soar like birds on delicate wings of imagination
and endlessly float on love's sweet fragrant breath
Yearning to paint a thousand pictures
rendered by love's artistic hands
framed by the hunger of our desire
When beneath the sun's splayed light, we kissed
becoming tethered by love's silent capture
regaled by the morning's mist
to feel the world melt away in solemn grace
where time is forever still from the sighing moment of our surrender
as truth becomes unspoken
and love frees the soul's jeweled reflections
glimmering in the farthest realms of the eyes
shinning bright as a wishful sense of shared awe
