Summer Songs

This yearning, forms a purple haze
In eyelash beats, the veils to raise
Exposed, two hearts relate in kind
The magic only they could find

So long ago, awakened then
The past released, to start again
Withholding nay, the chains of heart
Each to another, times apart

Rhetorical, the winds of change
Unstoppable, as fates arrange
A summoned graze relieves alarm
For neither could the other harm

She knelt to raise his hopes aloft
He bowed, and kissed her cheek so soft
Among Queen’s Lace, and chicory
Together given easily

As fingers sealed the lips and ears
Eternal love so often hears
The songs of summer so conspire
In thoughts still trade such deep desire

I especially like:

yearning……purple haze;

“Rhetorical…… winds of change”

and:

“…awakened then
The past released, to start again
Withholding nay, the chains of heart”

[would that things typically came to pass thusly]

Applause for Summer Romanticism!
