How Long Ago, Sweet Lover

How long ago, sweet lover we held hands and chased dreams until they were lost in space like clouds? How long ago, sweet lover... we looked into each other's eyes speaking tenderly under those falling leaves? Whenever moonlight appeared, we looked above and smiled, did the envious moon smile back? No, her jealousy wouldn't break! How long ago, sweet lover we felt the aroma of roses on these cheeks and lips? How long ago, sweet lover we gave ourselves entirely to passion without measure and couldn't stop the intensity of kisses and their pleasure? All that mattered in that moment was the happy feeling throbbing faster than the warm heartbeat; while pretty stars kept on shining! How long ago, sweet lover... we hugged with intense emotions to increase the consuming passion we burned for each other with complete abandon? Copyright ( c ) 2018 by Andrew Crisci
