The scent of her skin
by Daniel R Stout

Lilies of the Valley
have the scent
of her skin.
I run my hands
through her hair,
shorter now that
it is summer.
She is sitting,
watching the sun
struggle its way
into the sky.
I collect the dew
for her to drink.
The prairie grasses
are long and hearty.
Insects are silent
in the morning,
but the birds rejoice.
A new day with my love
and plenty of time
to spend in tight
embraces.
Planning the day
there is time
for much
but the morning
will pass
and then we will
have to hurry to
get everything
done
before we sit
here again
with a cup of
coffee
and the birds
and sun
to keep us
company.
