A Tryst Under the Sun

                   "A Tryst Under the Sun"



Sun-bait;
enticing a sweet summer morning breeze
sighing in tall sycamore trees.
Her pretty face is pink-white, like porcelain.
His henna-hued features sculpted, not so plain.
A courting stroll begins with a cheerful gait.

Sun-dust;
many a tiny shiny particle
winged on ideas of the maniacal.
Lad and lovely lass
lounge; breathing in gold-tipped grass.
Whimsy dreams ensue of love and lust.

Sun-blinking;
copper horizon at day's end.
Brittle messages of light, to lovers send.
Intimate whispers as he spoke;
she wore his words like a light-weight cloak.
Sweethearts kiss at the sun's winking.
