Breathe in the scent of summer

Hanging heavy in the air

Lavenders , rose , bees to hum,

Eyes closed evening sun 

Mind wandering who cares

Rustling trees hint of Autumn to come

 

Loneliness grips my heart 

No

Lover to share 

No lover 

to dare,To take the train from the prison

To meet where the dawn meets the dew

Where many meet the few 

Where the sleeper meets the day

Where the devout kneel and pray 

 

Float back through boughs, gently swaying to seasons rhythm 

Dusk brings the stillness in night

Waiting in the wings stage right 

to the day.

The ink submerges all, some to wake it calls

Some to sleep ,h

motionless deep.

 

Slumbering in linen shroud

My thoughts from you I cannot keep,

Your face appears to me , 

incandescent , 

calling , calling me out loud

 

Your arms slip gently round my waist 

Your sweet warm touch , soothes blood 

Cools haste

Calms the pounding

Pulls me in to your surrounding.

Lie with me to ease my mind

Your inner soul for me
