Lovers Tree

A Story by

..

Whistling softly to herself her hand traces the rough carving in the tree. Years before, two lovers had met here and carved their love into the trunk of the tree. Closing her eyes she breathed deeply, tasting the warm air, her feet cushioned by the lush green grass. The warm wind played her long dark hair. Behind her, she could hear someone approach. Strong arms wrapped around her, their fingers laced together. Smiling she let herself melt into him as he pressed his lips to her ear. Together they carved their love into the old tree's thick trunk.

Very simple yet descriptive. It's like an equivalent to a Haiku when it comes to poetry because it illuminates the scenery more than what is really happening. But I guess that's what you really want it to be. And yes, I spotted few errors with tenses.

You used present tense on your first sentense (Whistling softly to herself her hand "traces" the rough carving in the tree.) then followed by a past event (Years before, two lovers had met here and carved their love into the trunk of the tree.) and followed by a present event so I guess you need to write the next event in a present form like cushioned to cushions. Just a few fix ato make it one of the bests.

Keep writing!
