Backdrop Romance

Nature, I am on to you ! I know that a snowflake is your fingerprint, in like a shed of skin. Getting rid of the evidence of you touching the back of my neck with your cold hand in a playful seasoning, your crush on me. This can be the only reasoning. Is this your idea of a bored game? Snowball fight? Tag? Hide and Seek? Romance? You give me the chills the way your atmosphere seeps into me. Do you just want to give me the creeps, goosebumps? Is that why you loose all your leaves? I can't believe I am flirting with nature! But you have always been with me, haven't you, setting the scene, to hold me, mold me into just the right mood! Is my mind in a cold snap? But isn't it true, that I get the chills, fever from you, and you make me sweat, you romance me with your rains. Your kiss of winds tickles my face. I know now that the storm is to get my attention, reeling me into your reins.. Was it your plan to have my partner see this communication and leave me? Her claim of my "insanity." I say it is her "jealousy." She can never claim our romance to be "unnatural." I shall never take you for granted, again. I realize that if madness takes me or I am caused to roam the streets, you will never leave me. You will surround me while I sleep.

Oh, my ! I love everything about this. The conversation is playful, romantic and it leaves me wanting more. Your thoughts bring a smile and make me blush, all at the same time. :) Brandy
