Poppies

     Walking alone in the dark green dew covered field of poppies. I take in a deep breath, mixed with the sweet poppies is the hypnotic aroma of your cologne. As I turn around looking for you, a warm spring rain begins showering down upon me. Unable to find you, I walk farther into the field. Again as I take in the sweet smells around me, your scent is present. The desire to hold you runs like fire through my body. Setting my soul on fire as you always have every time I am near you.

     Suddenly a gentle touch on my shoulder turns me around face to face with the man whom gives me strength to face the world again. The man I love like I have never loved before. Passion burns deep in my soul as you place your lips to mine. Slowly we fall to our knees embraced in each other’s arms. With the love we share in our hearts, our bodies long to become one. In this dew-covered field surrounded by poppies, our bodies’ merge and become one as our hearts and minds already have!
