Summers Heat

The departing spring leaves behind for me a bunch of rose in my lone heart to greet with joy as sparkling as dew drops could be, I don’t let them wither in summers heat. In moon splashed midsummer night I take you to the blue bank of stream through silk star dust. In the vase of my heart the rose you view, flushing in crimson flame of lustrous lust. With the murmuring tune of torrid stream, fervid music of yearning I compose. Its blazed beats pulse your eyes, framing my dream, enticed by my touch the lids you don’t close. After I end my summer serenade, you feel in its rhythm what remains unsaid.
