A Honeysuckle Afternoon

Painting/Watteau, The Bird Nester.

 

André  reached deeply into my heart...
His silken touch and chiffon word's penned upon my soul;
 as my heart trembled beneath the moonlight with his seductive whisper.

 

He extended his hand and the seed of our love blossomed,
a sweet honeysuckle afternoon; breathless within his presence.

 

Each step taken was a step closer to being carried by the wind
to a far away place, an oceanic island where juices of
fruitbearing trees save from starvation;
from living within the grasping limbs of love alone.

 

Without him, a night without moonlight...

 

As André s whisper disappeared into the silence of no return,
the delicious taste of bon bon sweet,
now foreign upon my tongue.
 
 His letter sealed with a kiss...

 

 "adeiu, ma chérie"

 

Moonlight tangerine became a foggy distant memory,
drifting upon Parisian waves of yesterday.
