FIRST LOVE

They stripped in the rain,
ensnared by Spring’s magnetism,
eager for that primal,
inconceivable
kiss.

Moist embraces,
cloudbursts full of pauses,
his lips on her skin
and the strum of robust reeds
swaying over undefiled
pastures.

As snowdrops triumph
over winter’s reign,
passion sprouted
from their virgin
bodies.

A gust of guileless wind
swept seeds born of desire
over fertile prairies
espying candid
caresses.

Cherry blossoms
and songbirds
reveled in youth’s enchantment.
Even Earth’s allure
was enhanced by the ardour
of that once chaste,
irretrievable
Spring.

Thank you for your entry into Odin's Opposition!

Perhaps you'll rise up, drink from the Well of Wisdom and be crowned the 'bringer of victory'?

Best of luck in the battle!
