Quoth Theraven Poet Romanticism

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Summer In Amber

Oh, the of zest in days of summer
take a bite 
these bright lemon bars

Preserved in amber, memories
of moon and stars
yours

Please pass your plate to me
I'll fill it with tastes
you almost forgot

Hear the song of that sweet voice?
music so rich 
all ours! 

Don't you do it..
don't let go the summer
w'out lips wet
in ripe juices  

Tango's long tawny legs
leave me longing
for more

Preserved in amber, memories
of moon and stars
yours

Jennifer Proxenos August 17, 2021 at 1:57 PM A passionate poem about summer Richard - 'Tango's long tawny legs - leave me longing - for more - you write Romanticism with a sensuous touch. Very well penned, Blessings, Jennifer.

Andrea Dietrich August 3, 2021 at 5:19 PM you write SO wonderfully in this style. it reminds me sometimes of the way Armand wrote but he never comes here any more. Very few do romance this well!!
