That summer night had its way with us
we were caught in the after shock of it
the shrill clash, the thrill of her smile
the bouquet of her perfume filled the air
she left her touch like fire in my chest
moments felt as petals from a dried rose
they seemed to last forever
we laughed, we played, we sank deeply
as the moon swept its glow on our bodies
a misty musk lingered between us
words were touch stones we followed in love
we knew the morning would come too soon
caught in rapture we clung to each other
our hesitations were gasping breaths
we weaved into the night, it embraced us
she was a budding flower in my hands
her fingers were blades of grass to my skin
lifting from the ground, sifting my emotions
if love is lost, I never wanted to be found
for in this slip of night she was all I desired
