[ A Love for All Seasons ]

This is Lynn's dedication to to her friend and lover Ruth. Expressing to her how easily love changes with the seasons , being in itself seasonal and changeling. However she professes her own love

Rose buds bloom lush in the Spring of new loves

When the tide of strong passions  overflow

In Lovers’ hearts filled with cooing of doves

But will brave confessions and heartfelt vows

Be swiftly swept aside by the ravaging flood?

 

In the heat of passion at Summer’s height

In lust’s heat wave  sweat soaked bodies we slake

Lovers’ suns will shine warm rays on Hopes bright

Yet hopes are fragile Dreams, easy to break

                             Such dreams, beneath parching heat turn to mud

 

The Turn of seasons when love starts to fall

Is that time of year when passions run cool

Will love’s lustre droop, or will it stand tall?

Will loving hearts wither, will love turn cruel?

Can Hot Romance survive chill Autumn’s mood?

 

Winter’s  the season when passion runs scarce

When life’s ill winds chill love in lovers’ hearts

When lovers starve for a lover’s embrace

Then feast on days when they could barley part

Winter is  the season when  lovers brood

 

My love’s for all seasons this I make clear!

In Springtime, Summer, Fall  or Cold Winter

We’ll Brave life’s challenges  throughout the year

As loyal  companions unconquered  

So I’d love you forever if I could

I enjoyed how flowers in season are used to express one's love for another in this poem. She transcends the seasonal plight of the flowers.

Thanks, Rose! I must read it again with that background in mind. These poems are within a greater context.
