Lemon and Ginger

Lemon and Ginger
Refined with such finesse
Fine wine and dinner
The joy your smile confessed
To reminisce
The dance the kiss
When first we fell in love

Your touch so tender
You had me wrapped up tightly
Around your finger
Your eyes sparkling brightly
What a thrill!
How time stood still!
When first we fell in love

Each and every star across the milky way
They all aligned that day

My memories linger
And consecrate the hour
When first we fell in love

Lemon and Ginger
Demure and debonair
Two lucky winners
We made the perfect pair
The spice, the zest
Explored, caressed
When first we fell in love

Your poise your splendor
Affording just one choice
My heart surrendered
Minding my inner voice
“You’ve found the one!
The time has come!”
When first we fell in love

A breath long held in hope beyond all time and space
Relaxed when we embraced

So clearly blessed and,
So unanticipated
When first we fell in love
