Then and Then

THEN AND THEN On first romantic date, At river-side I met alone with my soulmate, when Sun was about to set And then? The Sky displayed twilight, dispersing hues, faint, bright. Breeze touched us in delight. Evening tried to merge night. And then? We leaned on tree at strand, Both of us hand in hand. In silence, we had to stand. Chirping birds sent errand. And then? Charming crescent Moon rose. He glanced, smiled, came close, offered a posy of rose. I took and stood on toes. And then? Amazing ambient. Time paused for a moment. Posy of rose sent scent. He took me in arms and bent. And then? My desires were fulfilled With arrow of cupid I was killed. He kissed me, I was thrilled. Passionate love was sealed. 04/23/17 'Choose Tour Topic' Contest by Russell Sivey Topic A. : Love and Romance
