THE PERFECT DAY

REMEMBER WHEN WE DROVE TO THAT EMPTY FIELD
AND MADE LOVE ON AN OLD BLANKET?

WE LAY THERE
BARE-
EXPOSED TO EACH OTHER,
TO THE ELEMENTS,
AND YOU REACHED OVER TO GRAB MY HAND
QUIETLY SLIPPING A RING ON MY FINGER
AND WHISPERING:

"forever, sweet girl?"




THAT, WAS THE PERFECT DAY.

Somehow, I cannot believe "no comments"...as everyone I ever knew had the same identifiable experiences as you write here.

I'm beginning to think that love IS sadness...maybe under the guise of happiness--really HATE to say that. Because love IS the answer, the cure, for SO many illnesses.
PEACE,
Steve
