The Red Umbrella Hideout

It was a dark wet night...rain over head.. Sheltered us close.....an umbrella red. Breathing moonlight ....in your silent air. My eyelids closed ..inside your hug and care. The fragrance of water ...intoxicating wine. I was drunken deep... in the fruit of your vine. Soaking showers trickled...the transcending time . Redundant words played... a rhyming pantomime. A kiss smelling vanilla... whispered all untold. My face cupped inside.....your soft fingered fold. I quenched my thirst ...in your sea ...submerged. In the red umbrella hideout....our lips converged. Did I catch cold in the rain? Or is it your shiver? The ripple of your touch? A wave made me quiver. Ardent affection .... relieved a fancy dream... Revealed the reality.....of a love supreme. Dated 8th November 2018 Submitted to the Red Umbrella Poetry Contest Sponsor Eve Roper PLACED FIRST IN CONTEST
