The Summer of Nineteen Sixty

Lying on a blanket by the loch side on a summer’s day
I close my eyes and listen to the quiet.
I hear the slap, slap of the small wavelets lapping on the pebbles and
The plop of some brave fish as he twists and turns his way through the cool green water.
 Above my head I hear the distinct call of the peewit and can imagine him hovering high in the 
sky.
Into this calm comes the soft rustle of the rowan tree, then, the more stringent sound of a wicker 
basket being opened.
I smile for I know what comes next. 
The chink of crystal glasses, followed by the pop of a champagne bottle being uncorked. 
I open my eyes to see my lover smiling at me. 
Glug, glug, the sparkling liquid pours from the neck of the bottle.
 I reach out and take the glass of fizzing bubbles, unable to keep my eyes from straying to the 
new diamond sparkling on my finger. 
And in my mind I hear again the words of love he whispered a few minutes ago. 
These, to me, will ever be the sounds of the summer nineteen hundred and sixty.


30 Years Ago

30 Years Gone

Such a long time to be apart
No contact but you are still in my heart
Memories of the years we spent together
The smiles
The laughs
The times we made love under a warm summer sun
It was paradise
The best times of my life
One misunderstanding between us
No one at fault ended us
Destroyed paradise
The smiles and laughs died in a single day
And the summer love making faded into a distant memory
I still look at your picture in an old yearbook
Torn and tattered age is trying to take that from me too
But you will always be in my thoughts
You will always be in my heart
I will always love you
I just wish I could tell you one time
Then maybe the last 35 years would be gone
And we would be together

Premium Member Autumn's Song

The green of Summer dims her lust
The trees shed tears of Red and Gold
I close my eyes and try to forget us
But longing memories must unfold

                         The way I held her
                         The way we kissed
                          Her eyes of love
                          Her ruby lips
                         To hear her laughter
                         To hear her cry
                          The pain of sorrow
                          That ends in goodbye

I close my eyes, the nights grow longer
I feel the pain, the days grow cold
I search for answer to ponder
Amist a sea of Red and Gold

Those carefree days of Summer flee
With love's memory I befall
As Autumn beckons to surround me
Winter's nearing, her presence calls

                         A Springtime fancy
                          A Summer's love
                           An Autumn's lost
                             A Winter's rest

All for my heart to endear
Into this chorus of Autumn I fall
As Fall's breezes sing of a love so dear
In Autumn's Song her love I recall
