Summer Love

Summer love. The summer came, the summer went, And with it youths fresh love was spent. And now I sit and dream of then And wish those days were back again. The warmth of sun and warmth of heart, They both conspired to play their part In what for me were dreams come true, And now I sit and think of you. That hazy day upon a hill When all around the world was still. The air was warm with heady scent Of flowers and your perfume pent. We laughed and talked of simple things, With hopes of what the future brings. we sat; our backs against a tree, and watched the clouds go floating free. So now for me the summers gone, Life's race began and you moved on. To where or what I cannot tell, But you left behind an empty shell. I really wish that now was then So we could laugh and love again. In what for me were dreams come true And now I sit and think of you.

Bernard, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
