Stuttered breaths and panting voices filled the air
The words filled the silence
And the breaths took the feeling from my lungs.
The grass swallowed me whole
My back grew damp with dew
The sun blind ed my poor eyes.
I blinked away the sweat.
The panting was coming to a halt
I lie there for long moments.
Soon the sun was closing its glittering eyes
The trees in the distance
Stretched
Uncurled
Released
Reached
And bent their spines to their tallest points
She lie beside me and I allowed my hand to crawl through the grass
Her rings scraped my fingers
Her warmth buried itself inside me.
She smiled and my breath caught
Her eyes reflected the diminishing light
Her skin was lit by the fireflies around us.
Stars.
The bugs were stars as they floated around us
She was everything
She was the world
We circled around each other
Our breathing beating to the blissful rhythm of the heart of the new-born universe
It was just us
My hand retracted
Her smile faded
Her skin fell back to earth.
The nothingness of night lie beside me
It’s frigid claws grasping at my shaking limbs
And i turned back to the now blackened sky

Wow this was pure and gracious. I totally sense this sensation of true and unadulterated love. Your descriptions are also so well detailed. Amazing!
