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...
