In The Sunlight (Collaboration Trace and MsJewel)

a new favorite collaboration with my writing partner

The fields were ripe, the strawberries sweet

on vines intertwined, glistening from the dew

through summers warm golden flecks

silken new grass sprung forth from meadows green

 

We stood a moment in the sunlight

a moment uncounted by time

to sigh…    

                   to swoon…

               

With nary the touch of your hand in mine

                          the leaves rustled

long branches bending to the wind

                                your tender lips beckoned

 

The scene summoned emotions unfamiliar…

 

Is it not sweeter than a foolish kiss

or to bear your bodies weight upon my breast?

 

With a fragrant perfume adrift on the breeze

the sensation of you…next to me…

breathtaking   

Yes, for a momen   

summer held us 

             ... in the sunlight

It is such a joy to share the same thoughts and be able to write something that pulls each of our words together in poetry. We really do collaborate when we write together until it is exactly the way we both want it to be.
Thank you sweet friend for your lovely compliments on our poem.
