Notes From a Guitar --Sq

I recall June dreams beyond seasons' past
which bring me down lanes where old guitars  waft ;
his fingers twanging notes, our laughter screams   
   beyond seasons' past... I recall June dreams.

This man I adore as  God’s prized token,
grunts at fairy books with scowls unspoken
yet hands would strum about mythical lore ...
    as God’s prized token, this man I adore.

Lurks the night raven with venom impressed--
casting a fierce shock upon his dear chest
to  drown rhapsodies from our lane's haven:
    with venom impressed, lurks the night raven.

Ablaze in this heart, fiddler’s tunes I keep
where moments enchanted prance in my sleep--
Grandpa, not in time will we be apart,
    fiddler's tunes I keep... ablaze in this heart.

I enjoy this poem as "SUMMER LOVE". So romantic with a soft touch to the soul. Good writer Nette Onclaud. It's been a while.
