Love au Naturale.
Have you ever made love in a cool woodland glade
As a soft summer rain on your flesh softly played?
Have you held her more tightly as skin tingles with lust
Both laughing as desire envelopes as dust?
Have you ever made love on warm summer sands
Soft waves lapping your body as silken hands,
Kissed and caressed as night birds flew
As darkness cool blanket brought pleasures anew?
Have you walked open meadows on clear autumn nights?
Stars sparkling like embers that danced in firelight.
Your arm round slim waist, nothing needed to be said
You both know that words will come later in bed.
Have you walked high chalk cliffs where sea birds sang?
While far in the distance a church bell rang
Its solemn peel that seemed to say
Live now, for this moment could be your last day.
Have you done these and more sometime in your life
Before you grew older and battled life's strife?
If you have you can look back on your time and can say
"I have lived, loved and laughed every moment, each day”.
