They had the kind of love
that camped out in cotton shirts
Damp with perspiration from
Morning gardening
Afternoon lovemaking
Evenings with her back pressed against his chest
As they looked into an endless sky
And pondered how the love they shared
Felt bigger than the entire universe before them

Very nice!
Love the cotton shirts and the simplicity. And it’s a love poem with – what? no mention of food?
Love it!
This draws a picture very well.
This is really lovely.
Beautiful! Well done!
Beautiful writing!
