JC Brul Poet Free verse

When Summer Is Gone

I will be remembering 
our wishful walks
on the silken strand
waiting for the delicate
dewdrops of dawn
on our chestnut cheeks.

I will be feeling
your tender kisses
in my windswept hair
as we sail across the sea
nowhere to go
just letting the flow.

And when the afternoon delight
turn to tangerine twilight,
I will be seeing 
your sacred silhouette 
on the luminescent light 
in the afterglow of dusk
when summer is gone.
