Gifts of August

A bit vague..

Summer has given a lot to you

and taken a lot from my life

Its how we celebrate our legacy

of soft friendship, that's not valued anymore.

My summer monument has no form

No existence that I could keep

But for sure it lives inside my mind. 

It was my love at the end of July

that once became ours in September

not stiff, not earthly but with soul

For the two-thirds against the sky

Our fates held our lives

It was our hope, at August’s narrow start

The view was geared, the care was destined

To come home to a beloved ornament.

And may so harsh, it took my life from me

Sunny shadows buried love at uncharted places

My moans, my mental disease

I’m sorry for how I have loved you

Purity, spirituality, devotion, unconditional 

But I lack the usual props of modern lovers.

I am sorry for making such strong eternal bonds

I have lost all my strength in redefining eternity

Transparent but with petals of tenderness on your side.

So I walk on my way of love

"A true lover's course is not easy"

with my heart in my hand, my beloved ornament

In quest of new ways, forms of love

that makes all sacrifice seem the most natural thing.

I don't think there was ever any question of the eternal transforming itself into the temporal ... but with love he may have undertaken a grander effort to ensure that it is no less than its original. Nice write.
