My Dream Summer

My hand rested gently in the grasp of my love. The full moon shown deeply bright against her olive toned skin. It gave radiance to her shoulder length hair. A glow of light seemed to emit from around my lovely Anami as she strolled beside me.

The white sand rubbed softly on the soles of our bare feet. Tiny granular pieces worked in between my toes with each step. They sent quakes of sensation through my spine as we continued to walk. The grains still held warmth from the day’s heat yet the sun’s light had long since left them.

My hand fell to my side as the dearest in my heart released it. My head turned and watched the holder of my heart unravel the rolled cloth that rested in the arm opposite me. She spread the soft blanket flat against the lukewarm ground smoothing it with the palm of her hand.

Crossing her legs, she sat on the freshly spread linen and gazed towards the black heavens above. I joined her at the side and copied the pose. The sky above was clear. The stars had shown with the same brightness as the moon the surrounded. The clouds were non-existent and letting the sky retain its deep blackness.

A wind whipped in front of us. The sand that road along it tickled my nose. My attention turned toward the sea where the gust had originated. An orange line lay just atop the far away horizon.

I felt skin atop my hand and instinctively my head instinctively snapped towards it. Anami’s fingers latched around mine with soft, even pressure. Her lovely neck turned around revealing the face of the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.  The weight against my hand increased dramatically as her supple lips leaned in to touch mine.

She pulled away as the tip of the yellow-red semi-circle continued its assent into the sky. Then she leaned her cheek so that it caressed mine. In the sweetest voice she began to whisper to my ear. “Please, let this moment hold here forever.”

I returned in a low voice as I let my deep blue eyes latch onto hers, “Let us cherish this if it should not.” My lips again met hers as light surrounded us and day slowly emerged from its slumber.
