Autumn Romance

A ll a fluster the pages flew from U nder my arm as I bumped into you. T ime was of the essence, the meeting due. U nder duress, I think you knew. M eeting on our hunkers gathering pages I N oticed you staring at me for ages. R ecalling that day last September. O ne year on I can still remember. M y heart beating fast beneath my breast, A s you pulled me against your manly chest. N ow engaged to be wed in the spring I C an still not believe how fate intervened. E ros took control that day it seemed.

Stop that Greg!! I am no master. I am well aware of my limitations when I read true masters like yourself. Thank you for your high praise.
