Love in summer













Love in summer

hand in hand, side by side,
with the summer sky as our guide,
beating hearts keeping time
as our exhalations start to rhyme,
and the heavens all align,
and your body fits with mine,
and the metronome grows faint
as god starts to finger paint;

and the crickets do their dance,
fireflies swirling in a trance,
softly filling up the night
with a thousand beams of light,
your hair tickling my ears –
we are young beyond our years!
