Moonlight Passion

Taking a blanket they headed for their favourite spot
a secluded place in a glade beside the gurgling river
this haven was filled with the scent of damask roses
and sweet honeysuckle grew rampantly up the  trees 

Laying the fleecy blanket on the soft grassy ground
sank down into each others arms with gentle sighs
the moonlight was filtering down between the trees
lending a sense of romance, oh how they loved it here

Slowly. softly they began to caress gently stirring passions
their exuberant loving sighs carrying  in the still night airs
afterwards they would lie spoon shaped, sated by love
then slowly they gathered up their blanket with a last kiss

Time now to return to their every day life's of the mundane
treasuring these stolen hours that added most romantic spice 
after twenty five years of marriage and raising five children
it was these precious moments that renewed their love

That's weird I left a comment yesterday but somehow it has dissapeared. Well let's give it another try. I really like this one because it portrays how passion is not just for the young. For me I have found the years have enhanced lovemaking and desire in ways I could not have imagined. This is a wonderful poem Shadow.

this is so sweet and romantic. I was almost thinking you were going to have it be an illicit tryst. Instead, a delightful true love poem!!

there are times when the rush of life pushes a husband and wife like logs in a raging river...it's then they should seek a shoreline to connect again with their youthful love and give thanks for each other...my thought after enjoying your poem..
