to say love.

To Say Love

If summer’s light

Begs you gone

To fade behind

A groaning tree

Would you think

To leave a trail

To let my heart then

- Follow thee

If fall inhales

The fire of dusk

And swoons the minutes

To smoke your eyes

Would you ponder

The extent of visions

And let your soul

Bid otherwise

If winter tests

The fondest beings

So dreary that

They come undone

Would you be a

Feast of warmth

And let us add

A matchless

Sum

When spring bestows

The drench of new

A watercolor

Summoned earth 

Will you soon

Pursue a quest

To jewel my hand

In blossom’s

Mirth 

Oh life is not

A dreamt example

Not every bit

A child’s sky

But let us, love

Resist the trample

The proof of worth

- All we defy
