The Farm Girl at Sunset

By thehylianhistorian

The summer sun sinks o'er the hills
Across this ancient land,
Bringing to those who see its light
A sight ever so grand.

A beautiful sun, the color of gold,
Surrounded by skies of red,
Bathing Hyrule in its soft, summer glow,
Kissing goodnight its sweet head.

I sit here now, upon this fence,
Gazing at this; such a scene!
But next to me, here on this fence,
Sits a sight ev'n more serene.

She seems like a simple farm girl,
And maybe she is to you,
But this farm girl has done something
That no princess could e'er do.

She's stolen my heart, I must confess;
Locked it up with a key.
And I don't think that it will ever
Be returned unto me.

She stares off as I do, enjoying the dusk,
Closing her eyes with each sigh.
She basks in the warmth of the last daylight hours
As eventide draws e'er nigh.

Her blue eyes, they sparkle, like clearest water,
Reflecting the rays of the sun.
And yet, they absorb me like deep endless pools,
Speaking words that make my heart run.

Her hair is caught in the breeze passing by,
Fluttering free and untamed.
It dances like fire about her sweet face
Its color is one and the same.

I reach out my hand and stretch it towards hers
Resting there on the fence post.
I gently cover her fingers with mine,
This hand of whom I love most.

She turns her head to me, neither startled nor scared,
And we stare at each other awhile,
As a very faint blush rises into her cheeks
And her beautiful lips form a smile.

I hop off the fence, turn to my love,
And offer a hand to get down.
She places her arms about my neck,
Then I lift her down to the ground.

Once on the grass, I can't help but gaze
Into those eyes ever blue,
And I notice while still in my trance
She's staring into mine, too.

I lift a hand up from her waist
And run it through her hair.
Like silk it slips through my fingers,
Smoother than flowing air.

She raises her hand, makes contact with mine,
And presses my palm to her cheek;
Closing her eyes as I gently caress
The soft skin of whose touch I seek.

My thumb moves so slightly, and brushes her lips,
And from her escapes a low moan.
She then lets her hands come to rest on my chest
And stretches her face to my own.

Her breath is sweet and intoxicating,
Her mouth not an inch from mine.
Oh! How long I've wished to taste her sweet kiss,
To drink of that finest wine.

I lean my head forward, sealing our lips,
And feel the ground drop from my feet.
My head fills with air, unable to think,
Hearing only my own heartbeat.

I delve even deeper, she answers back,
And I draw her ever closer,
Feeling our passion burn like that red sun
Which does not wish to surrender.

But daylight must end and nighttime resume,
And thus does our kiss dissipate.
But love ends not in that time or that place
For we two confirming our fate.

For just as dawn brings brand new light,
So too does each embrace
Fill my heart with love for this girl;
She who makes my heart race.
