Afternoon

Hand in hand
we walk through green fields
lush with summer warmth
back to the pasture
where clover and lespedeza
abound
blanket the ground
and fragrance
the air.

Beneath tall trees
we lie
breeze twizzling leaves
flashing green to silver.

You stretch out
your loveliness in jeans,
I sit adoring
until it seems
time ends
suspends
and all things hush…

I slowly
free your ivory flesh
and with the sun
lavish lips and tongue
upon your wanting.
