Joseph May Poet Verse

Love Was Blown Away

A summer breeze blew love their way
 With sweet caresses their passion grew

 Eventide brought lavender skies, as waves
 kissed expectant shores, sunset
 painted  brilliant hues 

 In silhouettes they strolled along
 As they watched the moon arise
 Soon they paused to share a kiss
  summer love 'neath moonlit skies

 autumn plucked the leaves
 from summer's grasp, and summer 
 love was blown  away
 love's brief season in the sun
 sails away on autumn winds
                       ----
