If My Poems Were Eulogies
If being pretty were a crime, you’d already be behind the bars
Because angels look at their reflection and wish they had your smile
And I’m not sentimental, but to you I must confess:
I’ve waited ages to find someone whose beauty can compare
If my poems were eulogies, you’d be nothing short of dead
Because not romanticizing you

Your Love
Your love is as welcome as a gentle summer breeze,
Feeling its depth brings me to my knees.
It's as soothing as a massage at the end of a long day,
Yet intriguing and exciting in its own way.
For lasting an eternity is that for which I pray,

Summer Love
I’m a lovesick puppy dog.
Torn between “wet behind the ears” and growing into maturity.
Much like the process of drying fruit, if done properly, it gives the substance more flavor.
If
Done
Properly
And it begs many questions,
Makes me open my eyes and look into the less obvious.
I’m not at all surprised by the loss of my breath,
Not from anticipation,

Summer Love
when it's time for love we sit out on the balcony
in the bewitching quiet of the midnight air
a sublime summer fragrance drifts about
under a moon flashing her charming pout
it's a hush that entices beyond compare
as a backdrop to love on the outskirt of reality

I'm gonna get going Friday morning
I'd like to stay but it's best I'm going
Things don't feel like they should be
So I'll hit the road and just be free
You're the prettiest girl there's ever been
Your eyes light up with love from within
You put joy in the hearts of your every fan
Your babies, your mama, and this

My Summer Love Returns
Day after day, I was sad and depressed.
All I thought about was Marie and her short dress;
Long flowing hair and beautiful smile:
I'm afraid I won't see her again for a while.
Night after night, I hadn't slept at all
While staring at the four corners of my wall.
Towards the end of June 2023,
I've been sweating like crazy

My Summer Love
There once was a woman named Marie,
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
In the summer of June 2003,
I met her once in gay Paree.
We had lunch near the Eiffel Tower,
Which lasted more than half an hour.
This was my first time in the City of Lights;
There's much to do and so many sights.
We went to the

On a Blanket In May
Rippling down the mountainside
flows a clean blue Alpine stream
Bubbling o'er the valley floor
like an image from a dream
Horses grazing in the grass
song birds singing from the trees
Butterflies flitting about
floating on a summer breeze
Wisps of clouds drifting along
a bright sun hangs in the sky
casting a shade from the trees
to where two young lovers lie
Hand in hand

Summer Love a Quintile Form
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
as
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.

Happy Summer Love
Grab my glow sticks
dig out my old whistle
And my 1 and only white right hand silk glove
And faded black and yellow smilly face t-shirt from the back of my cupboard
And please take me back one more time
There to when i was near abouts turning 20
Willing to live on the edge
Try and do anything once no

Rainy Summer Love
Under summer’s rain, we smiled in God’s showers.
Aqueous, holy, droplets, baptized our warm bodies
We, two, were satisfied, tall,sensual, love towers.
Honesty, wholeness, integrity, nothing shoddy.

A Seasonal Love
I loved him in a Summer's breeze,
though Summer ripened into Fall.
His Winter arms, a cooler squeeze,
a chill became an April squall.
A season's moment left ungrasped.
I thought of love, but love is blind.
Its daydreams easily unclasped.
Untended, quickly they unwind.
He left in Summer, with no glance;
his mythful "white horse" ran away.
My heart, he nicked with paper lance.
I
