The Secret

It began with anticipation and butterflies flickering within.

Embers of hope sparked. Shone off like fireflies in the dark. 

The ever compassing romantic unfurled from her slumber, dreaming of softness and silk.

Of rich foods enjoyed by gleaming eyes. Of walks in old places. The memory of dark spaces . 

The by and by of days gone by, startled touch, and moody scenes.

Chocolate kisses, blossoms, & giddiness...lovers sigh.
