Awarded:  Second place in Summer love Sonnet contest

Summer Love

Beneath a star studded...black velvet sky
I see myself...as I am...in your eyes
Moon beams...abreast...the Bay of Evermore
Where rolling waves come...to break on the shore

Embers still glowing...inflamed once again
Dance to the din...of the Ocean's refrain
Sweat...wood and brine...a scent simply divine
A perfume of passion...misting my mind

You and me on a trip...of ecstasy
In the heat of the night...cooled by a breeze
Where those rolling waves...of emotions...ride
In the wake of a never ending tide

Where the moon and the stars...so high above
Look down...in silence...on our summer love.
