Summer Cinquain Poems

Whisper
words of love 
into my soul's psyche,
etching into my memories
echoes

of times
now stored inside dusty attics;
forgotten in the end,

mornings drifting
like woodsmoke on the breeze...

bleeding.

Swollen
the pregnant pods
sway on summer-scorched...

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

That’s where
In enticed dawn
The blazing summer sun
Rises with the fond warmth of your

Your flaring charm
Melt glacier of...

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight
that
Summer
evening silken,
long..an encounter of
initiations together
explored

Desire

words became a promise

I dreamed
I was picking
flowers for you again,
like I did the summer before
you died.
