Summer Love

Give us a multicoloured dawn when all the world is still asleep. Enthralled we search for lips with earnest greed in passionate embrace Before the sun arises and our love like dew dissolves. Silence, when day has gone to rest and moonlit sky takes centre stage. Whisper; while in my arms I hold you tight within the summer night. Love me, as gentle fingers pluck the vibrant strings to my heart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th June 2014 Contest: Sijo Strings Sponsor: Debbie Guzzi

ha, it's funny, because I was thinking of writing a poem called... ""Tequila Fields Forever, "" LOL But, I turned away from the VICE... Linda

Could be a slight resemblance to telepathy! Still, "Poppy Fields Forever" would be a suitable compromise:) // paul

Some 2 weeks ago I dreamt that I read a poem of yours called "In the poppy fields" or something similar, but when I checked it did not exist!! Strange...!?
