Summer of Enchantment

Warm evenings have that lazy feel,
As the sun sets upon the day.
An orange ball suspended,
As all cares now swept away.
The exotic smells in the perfumed air,
That lies heavy all around.
Mimosa now that in full bloom,
As its branches drape the ground.
Do you ever look at the sky?
As the stars come out at night.
When you’re held by that someone specials arms,
And don’t want to say goodnight.
Though no spoken word is  uttered,
As eyes gaze into eyes
It’s said there windows to the soul,
Mere feelings can’t disguise.
Love can just be fleeting,
With precious thoughts we steal.
And in that brief encounter,
We know that it’s for real.

Sounds like love is in the air ... smile ... beautiful write here Nicholas. The school teacher in me has to change line 15 though ... LOL ... should read "their" as in "It's said their windows to the soul" referring back to eyes. Hope you don't mind my correction ... now its perfect ... and a well-deserved feature this week. Congratulations to you!
