Wanting to capture the essence of a time of passion in an open meadow. And the continuing nature of love, the progression of feelings as well as the building of relationship. The nature of time counted as moon travel.

Meadow Again
by Daniel James Burt
Moon hangs, almost full
pieces of cloud scatter,
glide in soft, summer breeze.
We lay in our meadow
listening to the sound of night
her head nestled on my arm.

Night air made for kissing
dances upon our skin
chilling wherever is damp.
She stirs, quietly calls,
my name hangs on summer eve
floats about our meadow.

She sighs, moves closer
snuggling in, once again
her breath stirs, awakens.
Hands join in gentle caress
exploration shared and renewed
oh, so smooth and lovely.

We turn, lips meeting
slow, softly, delicate
building quickly to demand.
Crying out, beginning and end
collapsing, breathing ragged
moon hangs, slightly fuller.

    Thank you. The poem was innocent (gentleness is good rest for the soul), did not take advantage, exploit, or assume. It made me cry, and crying was the release I needed after a summer without my love. Thank you.

    I met my soulmate online at a music site. He lives half of a world away. We fell in love. We have not met in person yet. Since this is new, we record our voices with a little music in the background and send it MP3. I decided to record poems of Love and passion. Passion is a new word to him that I had to explain because he is just learning English. I loved this one. Thank you for sharing it.
