Sweet Meadow Reverse Poem

The heat of your lips burns through my skin
The breaths hot and fast, as deep you are within
Moisture trickles between my breasts my arms enfold you tight
To be with you in your dreams, to be with you through the night.

The warmth of the flame licking high in the fire grate
The fallen wine glasses, this was our fate
Your fingertips explore, the softness down below
In contrast to this I feel the hardness of you grow.

Your eyes the colour of emeralds, close as we kiss
The tenderest of touches, out lips never miss
To feel the joy and after glow to feel we are as one
My heart, my love, my life, I pray this feeling never gone.

In the meadow sweet the dragon flies flit by
The stream tinkles past, the buttercups seem to sigh
Two hands are holding, fingers that play
The sun is shining on this our perfect day.

No one near as lips meet in unwedded bliss
No one censures as true lovers kiss.
If this is the last breath on this mortal earth
Then let it be a day that makes a lifetime worth.

Never to see the pain of another goodbye
When true lovers meet, let not the tears cry
The breath of life may go, but the spirit lives forever on
As the spirits are entwined true lovers will be one.

this is REALLY REALLY GOOD, Mandy. One of the absolute best I've seen in this contest. One thing. I hope I am wrong about this. But didn't he say it had to be kept at 20 lines? Double check that and take out a stanza if you have to . I want to see this on the winners' list.
