Lemon Nude – Lillie Bates
I found my love.
A beautiful woman
In the almond garden
Amongst the golden trees,
Yellow flowers and canary birds.
The garden was entrapped by beauty.
I could not see her body.
The glow of maize surrounds me
Her jasmine eyes
Her lemon skin.
At last, I found her
A whisper of love.
As she rest upon my shoulders
Laying her head upon my chest
She says, romance me.
Letting her butterscotch hair down
As each strand falls
I am blinded by the sun
When I touched her
the sound of music came.
My heart beat like a drum
Everything became hazy.
The sunshine beamed upon us
As we lay on yellow rocks, illuminating the sky.
At the end I found your golden hair string
I have become like you, lemon nude.
