Your Soul is Summer

Firefly nights of gold in

Enchanted mystic skies

Ripe stars gathered in baskets

Nature’s soft, sweet succulence

And your soul is summer

Nirvana flavored lips sigh

Dreams in fresh dawnlight

Ocean’s Zen awakening lust…

 

Palettes adorned in poppy shades

Endless caressing light on time

Saffron flowers rise in rhythm

Sun drenched and dripping of days

Orchards of milk and honey flow in

Aphrodite’s reflection of silvered song…

There is always magic glowing through your verses.

A longing sprinkled within nature's idyllic inspiration.
A heart palpitating between slumber and awakening, striving, searching, beckoning.

There has never been one single write of yours that has not filled me with awe and tingled all my senses.

lovely!! :D

The graphic lends itself beautifully to the eloquence of your words. I am always left to wonder how you orchestrate such magic from your pen!

You must have been a magician in your previous life, Craig...

So happy to have you by again, Kelly! And so very sweet of you to say. I'll only confess that magic might have had something to do with a previous life... :)

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

This is nature's clarion call, and the beauty of summer's day, bright and glittering love. Well articulated.

Thank you, my friend. I hope you always carry the sweet summer in your soul.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

and so....it must be you kissing my fingertips in the pale moonlight...I awoke with the slightest brush and felt the summer cradle me.

Dear poet! May you always feel the sweet summer seducing your soul... bringing you misted magic to keep you warm... :)

Can I just say this mate? You are a painter with words. You make me want the summer, even though the summer where I live to so freaking hot!!! But thank you for such an amazing poem...

Just lovely. The Not just the sight and sound of summer, but the taste, the smell, the feel...

And whatever other senses there are...

[An owl on the moon]

Yes, oh yes, Marie... when you find someone who has a summering soul, your heart is always smiling. :)
