Summer's Fare

A light air twists her hair

Ambiance of fate as she catches eyes

Each benevolent gaze through her form silhouetted in summer dress

It's all good

Splendid plump fruit ready on the vine

Juices flow at the very first bite

Redolent kisses at the nectar within

It's all good

Pottery vases easily broke

First by a mistress then by a bloke

Timing interrupted right in mid stroke

It's all good

Rippling muscles taught and stubbled rough chin

Sweat glistens in sunshine as his workday nears end

A well kept woman offers a grin

It's all good

Feverish lovers uncovered in night

The heat of the evening the pain of delight

The passion ended yet holding on tight

It's all good

The lonely romancer conjuring words

Continued advances that never are heard

Nighttime his capsule where no heart is stirred

It's all good

Was it better in history when lovers must wait

For ships from far coasts delivered letters of fate

Instead if live wires instantaneous fear

It's all good

Brilliant hot embers caressing the mind

This season shall end and with it our time

Returning to dirt whats yours and what's mine

It's all good

But tonight like the flowers lets grow from this earth

Join me in laughter eschew the dearth

No fuel for that fire the pyre must wait

Its all good

No funeral tonight as we cast about words

Flaming desire and hoping for gold

The summer of love upon us witness it's touch

It's all good

A light air twists her hair

Ambiance of fate as she catches eyes

Each benevolent gaze through her form silhouetted in summer dress

It's all good

. ah ... a slice of life ... when a lot is happening ... and a lot is not happening too ... there's a sadness i detect in the acceptance of it all ... especially in all that is not so good ... or, maybe i didn't hear you right ... and it's my own sadness that is echoing in your words ... whatever the case, this is a beautifully vivid and emotional piece of writing ... a rewarding read, dear poet ... it triggers a million memories and a million thoughts ...
