A Perfect Day Poem by Orlando Belo

Through a field of early summer grass,
we walked aimlessly holding hands.
We stopped occasionally to smile and kiss,
love was so easy to understand.

We talked of our love for each other,
on this perfect, warm, sunny day.
It was as if we were in another world,
and life was so beautiful this way.

We laughed as we walked in no direction,
then we stopped and passionately kissed.
A deep inner feeling of desire came upon us,
and we didn't care to think or want to resist.

A thick carpet of untouched grass beckoned,
the most perfect place to be found.
Away from watchers and prying eyes,
we made naked love on the ground.
