that
Summer
evening silken,
long..an encounter of
initiations together
explored
as
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise

into my soul's psyche,
etching into my memories

My heart
Winter landscape
In frosted wilderness
Vestiges of wrecked emotions
Frozen.

That’s where
In enticed dawn
The blazing summer sun
