Chapters of Summer

Sweet love of mine
Can I borrow a sec?
To let your mind ponder..
How something so delicate 
Can leave you in wonder?

I dwelt alone in this summer's weather
Hot and humid put altogether 
It seems since I'm away from my lover
All joy has been plucked out from me like a feather 

But Sweet love of mine 
I want you just as you are, 
You do not need a dollar sign 
To be my one and only star

You've captivated me with your charm
 the style of your grace 
the tone of your enchanting accent 
Have allured me into your trap

The wonderment of that to me 
Is how my heart leaps for your presence 
As time disappears like a dark sea
I find myself awaiting for something to be present 

The delicacy of my love for you 
Is the warmth you bring to me
And peacefulness that soaks through 
When I can finally lay down beside you.
