Summer warms, as its days grow long,
And its light shines brighter
Than darkness can consume.
Spring blossom, is now fruit on the tree,
It is sweetened and coloured; coming of age
Under hot rays of summer days.
I see, breathe, and taste this season,
Life is so good now I observe it with you.

At the height of our midsummer’s day,
A storm pounced and devoured My Love.
All that is left in its passing wake
Is, with deep remorse I say,
“I loved deeper than I ever said,
But, I only know it, now my Lover Is Dead.”

Never wait to show your love to the one that captures your heart.  Wonderful write and Welcome to Passions as I have missed you before.  This one has much sadness in it but you penned the pain well and hopefully released some of it as well.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your nice comment. I wrote the poem for a friend of mine who lost her partner suddenly, and totally unexpectedly.

Best wishes
Jon

This is a beautiful poem, reminds me that life is unexpected, and that 'seize the day' is something we should remember. I really do like this.
