Summer Love

Summer love  (sonnet contest sample)


Winter blues, gloom, fades as spring advances
We're crazy in love on hot hazy days
Summer love blooms with whispers and glances
Caught in love's embrace as the willow sways

Ensnared by love's frenetic energy
Heart strings strumming to a Calypso beat
We move with syncopated synergy
passions swells rising from two lips in heat

Diamond tipped waves shimmer, sending shivers
Steamy heat rises on the cool blue lake
Oil rubbed skin glistens, trembles and quivers
Our senses come alive in passions wake

Tethered together in honey'd repose
As heat exchanges we superimpose
