The Kiss

Once upon a summers night, the sweetness 
  	of a simple smile caught the evening light
  	As the moonlight washed upon its bounty 
   	the stars came out that special lovers night 

 	Dancing a score among the autumn leaves  
  	the restless breeze lamented its mistress 
  	Then, with the trees bowing to honor her, 
  	her smile lead him to a resounding “yes” 

   	Rivers of sweet seduction flooded them, 
  	only the night breeze was again alone 
        Two shadows moved together hearts a drum, 
  	their separate smiles now becoming one 
	
        The next sun rose to find them together 
 	Love held their two hearts as one forever
