Carinthia in the Summer
I can feel your lips upon my cheek,
your hands caressing me gently,
and my auburn hair adorned
with white and lavender daisies.
Under the warmth of the breaching sun,
I feel free with you, lying close
atop and underneath this Tuscan cover
in a gold-leaf field divorced from reality
where life blooms beneath our feet.
Forget me not nor your lover’s kiss
so that when we depart from this field
the west winds over the calm of Attersee
can bear witness to devotion
if our intentions are as true as our desires
lest this is adoration amiss.
