Hugging Tenderly

It's one o'clock in the noon and a hasty couple snuggling  
under an orange umbrella walks
on a glossy lane of the misty park deserted by folks...
as soft, transparent and warm
raindrops keep on pelting,
but these happy lovers seem worry-free,
not unafraid of the approaching storm!
We, too, have walked under
a big umbrella hugging tenderly,
sharing thoughts and breathing fragrant air!

Love feelings can be intense under
an umbrella made for two having fun;
no, they don't seem to quiver
laughings in the freezing November rain without sun!
Yes, they enjoy a long walk that will take them home...
while staring down at the puddles that foam;
and if the northern wind blew,
they would lose it to the clouds that are somewhat blue!
