Fields of Everlasting Love

A glance is all it took For cells to explode into pheromones And charge light horse As natures’ course took a chance Where two souls did dance On a stairway to the moon With a rhythm so salsic, palm to palm, belly to belly And breath to breath all coiled in Latin To unleash a furnace of passion To blast their past With a lasting touch like kissed skin For within, these souls love had blossomed Like fields of everlasting love That did sweep her away, to play Beyond the ocean red shores, and left behind A soul mate in bloom To share a room with memories Of perfumed smiles, and intoxicating ballrooms To glass notes and eighty mile dreams Where, Par Avion, love lingered in the mail His heart flooded with love, he was swept away To live in a doorway, frozen with the future That led to a chapel filled with the four seasons And a kiss on a bridge; A prelude to “I do” ================================================= Author's note: Submitting this first poem felt a little like walking into a classroom for the first time - naked! Everybody can see what you have to offer. The comments that emerged overwhelmed me. Just like my wife did 23 years ago...

this is really beautiful. What does it all mean at the end? Did she leave and never come back? So sad!

I wrote this poem about the courting years shared between my wife and I. She spent time in the UK/Europe and that is where the last line comes in and my proposal!!! The four seasons - Vivaldi's 4 seasons in a small chapel in Prague She said YES!!! Glad you enjoyed it Andrea, it was very much from the heart...
