Amber Gleam of Summer's Eve

Unspoken dream glints summer’s amber eve
Caressing sweet musings longings appease
Where motifs of romance ecstasies weave
When requited desires strum twilight breeze

Buoyant blows season’s mirth lilting lush glee
When blazing rendezvous emotions churn
Courting heart’s appeal in indulgent plea
Where blossoms of bliss fond fantasies yearn

Beholden to your glance when heavens glow
How do the robins know to trill your song
And wooing night's fervor where passions go
Why does flirting moon always come along

Believe me, my dear, goddess of love knows
Though secrets of hearts she’ll never disclose

It is not easy to write a love poem one notch above the normal verses we read here. Most fail. You never do. Your verses are always sublime. I'm always curious about your academic studies.
