This Is May

This is May The time of the beginning of the month of rains This is May The teen girl coming boldly to my mother's room This is May Don Colon sails to Discovery Bay and leave in chains This is May Her young body like a delicate and exotic perfume Are clouds dark as memory On the old page of history This is May And I prefer none, but long to be there When gully overflows cleansing me of fear: (a) May murmurs in trees Golden with juicy blossoms Falling for the rain (b) May bares her bright breast To the oval lips of skies The young heart thunders (c) May brings her ships to bay Laden with lost sailors' joy Black rivers run red (d) May wears the mountain scent From fragrant flowers succulent Hope seeks new domain (e) May too is for love Love of brave warriors' drums Beating like a heart.
