The Nature of Love


The Nature of Love

The sensual caresses of a pleasing April breeze
That tease the pretty buds of every flower
The whispered conversations of the sparrows in the trees
The tickling touch of raindrops in a shower
Are natural reminders of a kiss as soft as dew
And Mother Nature’s memories of you.

When sunlight plays with shadows in a Springtime English wood
And bluebells blaze as brightly as your eyes
I’m left to dream of feelings that I never understood
As my fingertips made music on your thighs
We walked across the hillsides under skies of Wedgewood blue
And Mother Nature’s beauty came from you

We lay on mossy stream-banks as the Moon hung far above
And swifts and swallows chased an evening meal
Your hair wrapped round my fingers as we gave the World our love
And Summer’s warm embraces made it real
A secret ancient meadow where the rarest orchids grew
Was Mother Nation’s offering to you

We watched the trees disrobing and we joined them in their game
The rustle of their raiment as it fell
The two of you seduced me but I know I share the blame
As Autumns glories weaved their golden spell
Unearthly mushrooms watched us as we gambolled where they grew
And Mother Nature laughed for me and you

And now I see and hear you in the fog, the frost, the snow
The cold exciting glory all around
I feel your breath behind me and your whispers make me glow
As Winter hunts its prey without a sound
Each day brings other wonders old romances oust the new
And Mother Nature can’t compete with you.

Didn’t really go where I thought it would so feel free to ignore it if is far
