Sweet Apples


You’re like
sweet apples 
in the summertime

Like breezes 
through grasses
you ease my mind

Come whisper softly
next to me 
You’re everything 
that I need

'Cause I need 
sweet apples 
and breezes 
in the summertime 

And I need 
soft whispers 
next to me 
to ease my mind

Come dream 
beside me 
and be mine

You’ll be 
all I need
all through time

Just whisper 
that you’re mine

I enjoyed this P.S. I am not sure what she wants. I haven’t been too inspired lately. Guess my mind is on doing my income taxes. Blessings xxoo

I am glad you liked it. It came to me as a song…. I thought I’d toss it in that contest and just see how it did. I am sorry you’re not feeling inspired lately—l hate when that happens! Oh and I hate taxes, too :D ~ps
