I'd never drawn a breath until we met And that one taken at the sight of you The rest were lost to conversation, set On planning our initial rendezvous ... We drove into the mountains in my "B" Our lover's picnic, near the waterfall ... At dusk, a drive-in that we'd longed to see (Tho' I don't think we saw the film at all) Then late that sultry evening in the pool I tasted drops of moonlight from your skin And though the water kept our bodies cool We shared your carnal fire ... deep within How passionate, the nights since then with you ... No wonder that our love remains ... as true. ~ 5th Place ~ in the "A Sonnet True Love" Poetry Contest, Brenda Chiri, Judge & Sponsor.
