I knew an April once!

I knew an April once!

A Poem by Wandering Minstrel

I knew an April way back then
her eyes were like the rain
all misty blue they deeply held
her dreams and every pain
she begged me to remain
and keep our world the same
her lips were temptresses
they beckoned like two tulip petals
oh how they quivered when we kissed
my heart took hours to settle
my blood was molten metal
but then came May a lovely lass
she stole my soul and ran
across green fields of dandelions
you see she had a plan
for me to be her man
her back was warmed from early sun
she snuggled close to me
and in her whispered promises
I heard eternity
but it was not to be
for June stretched lazily  around
my soul with her embrace
she offered days that had no end
with joy I kissed her face
in that summer loving place
we walked across the hazy heat
that rose like passions fire
and I swore I would stay where her
love always took me higher
but Autumn with her tawdry laugh
and multicolored dress
put spices in each kiss we shared
I swear she tasted best
I hardly got much rest
she'd blow across my limbs
stripping me bare and tumbling down
she'd rake her nails across my back
then leave me there spellbound
The memories of these past loves
that I've known as time floats by
have carried me through winters blasts
when blizzards fill the sky
and fires warm my sighs
for it is here I understand
as white flakes fill the land
that I will be a lonely man
till I mark my dates with Jan

A romance with the months and seasons. How very appealing! Perhaps a little fickle, but they do as they please. ;)
