The afternoon was still
Not a sound could be heard
Except for the caress of lovers embraced
Knowing they’d not be disturbed

The sun’s rays danced across their flesh
While they moulded the lover’s seat
And the floorboards weathered and weary
Creaked beneath their feet

Exposed but far from vulnerable
They indulged their passions deep
Alone in the outback wilderness
It was a memory they would keep

And when the flames of passion dimmed
And the sun began to set
They held each other tenderly
Warmed by their lack of regret

With arms and legs still entwined
They searched the western sky
Lost to the world on their verandah
They heaved a pleasured sigh
