When Will I Not Love You

When will I not love you
shall there be a distant flame
flickering beyond the warmth of 
an Indian summer's sultry breeze

When will I not love you 
will the sun rest on top of giant
umbrellas dancing heavenly  
about sparkling shores

When will I not love you
shall the roaring tides rise
over broken sea shells 
sending the tiny crabs back
inside hidden cubby holes
 
When will I not love you
will the standing vessels finally 
set sail upon the calming Voss seas
cunning seduction banks of marigolds 
from ancient good byes as new worlds 
collides gleaming about sullen memories 
When will i not love you when

Waxing lyrical with romantic insinuation, though in my mind I see it through a metaphorical lens, Yolanda. ~ Best regards // paul
