Campfire Cologne

serene and reflective : Line 5
song bird's chirp :  Line 13

( Italian sonnet : octave with rhyme abbaabba followed by six lines with rhyme cdcdcd. )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
starlit hillside embossed in lush green peaks
campfire singes our cold hypnotic night   
in orange flames, woods crackle to ignite
cinders seeping darkness, in sizzling streaks  
serene and reflective, nature's soul speaks
through a stream afar, trickling in delight .
memories snuggle close in moonshine white
spilling tender love on our ember cheeks.

You and I adoze, the fire within yearns
smoking in billows, with smores roasted mild
devouring the scent, specters of air burns
till logs turned to ashes, tawny shades smiled.
song bird's chirp, a calamine dawn returns
rekindled dream... cradling our lovechild.
