A Lover's Masterpiece

She laid in morn’s dew light resting 
her head on his chest-
for love can never be  b r o k e n  if 
given a second chance.
The days grew longer and romance 
grew stronger and the reasons for 
making sweet memories proved to be
a reason for breathing.

Within a deep breath's moment he 
gazed at nothing except her eyes-
they were deep chestnut holding such
w i s d o m, yet grace-
he knew there'd never be another,
another lover...
for him. 

He knew she was the one;
she knew he was the one...
                    and in an instant they  
                    e n t w i n e d 
                        into marital bliss. 

Like dew drops on a rose, 
she completed him,
like pebbles on a shore he surfaced her-
like sand in an hourglass they  s l o w l y
took their time with ease to show intense
LOVE IN THE MAKING. 

He sparked her fire-
she ignited his lust.

She needed him in her youth, and the more
they aged the more they fed each other's 
desires.

For life is but a charcoal etching-
ebony and white mixed 
with shadows of grey  
e x p a n d i n g  into deep 
artisan memories…
he engraved her soft glowing 
silhouette on parchment 
leaving an impression of passion.
The outline of her raven figure 
released his affection framing 
her within a...
                  lover’s  m a s t e r p i e c e.
