Summer Shades of Love
In warmth of solstice she turned cool sixteen
unleashing a torrent in heart of June.
he yearned for tulips he had never seen
till their eyes met that summer afternoon
sapphire mystic eyes, her tanned soft red cheek
lambent lights sweetened a mango sorbet
pastel illusion too frozen to speak
nightingale songs tuned a dance anyway.
footsteps faded looking for silver streams
in desert of thoughts, world of make-believe
shimmering a mirage painted in dreams
a heart warming story, pure love they weave.
In gold braided tresses, her vibrant flame
of summer love shades, he could never tame.
