Under the Stars

Under the stars...Laying back together with a blanket on the ground;
       We listen to the music of crickets all around.
Under the stars...We conversate into early morning hours.
       You smell so ravishing like a bed of Jasmine flowers.
Under the stars...With the cresent moon shining brightly above;
       It's a warm June and our bodies glisten with perspiration from making love.
Under the stars...We lay in a lovers embrace;
       I lose track of time while looking into your gorgeous face.
Under the stars...Until the crack of dawn.
       We will keep our bodies close till these stars are gone!
