greener gardens
did you know it, when i looked into your eyes?
spring time, turning into summer.
i kissed your lips and sensed myself
standing on the pathway to greener gardens,
cooler breezes and more pleasant evenings.
arms wrapped around bodies.
we explored the edge of temptation
and tasted of its fruits, while throwing caution
into the winds of change blowing past us.
we stood upon the precipice of eternity.
i dared myself into the realm of possibility,
and you took me by the hand.
gentle, the hold of fingers intertwining;
hearts blending, doors flung open, daring us
to take that step, that very next push.
reckless, or perhaps daring?
does the beating of two pulses in
simultaneous medley form courage in its wake?
heaven only knows which angels might have sung,
but i heard their symphony just the same.
inside the windows of your soul.
coaxed to the confines of your essence and here i am,
standing on the path to greener gardens,
grateful for the chance to savor
the sweetness of romance realized.
