Silently they meet in the meadow
Tangled in strands of hair,
his calloused hand cups her silken cheek
they dance in the fragrant air
pale hands in raven tresses
the night beckons unto them
sparkling and dense
like some brilliant opaque gem
eyes clamped together
they drink in each others beauty
hearts beating in unison
caring nothing for the world of duty
slowly their lips press together
falling into a passionate sigh
he presses an orchid to her hand
as a single tear wells in her eye
His fingers reach to catch that tear
and press it to his lips
She turns her face up to him
For a long and lingering kiss
The night is almost black now
Not a single star in the sky
Their hearts are breaking gently
But their eyes, they do not cry
Before this night is over
The lovers, they will part
Back to the worlds they belong in
To forever bleed from the heart.
I adore this one.
