Seasons of Love by Joan McNerney

Seasons of Love

Spring Tide

Green I wore green

that night when we

danced how we danced

at the picnic during

    spring

lustrous and green.

Rainfalls flooded the

air where we danced.

You left whispering

sweet words

      kissing

my eyes closed.

Sliding under green green

waters slipping sliding

over night

     hiding

in nebulae

turning we dance

finding your hand

how we dance

this endless night.

Last Summer

Golden sunshine spilling

over cathedrals of trees

forest of summer.

Your eyes are oceans of light

beams of light soft beaming

dancing through rivers of memory.

Forest of rivers

drowning in oceans of eyes.

Your eyes when sunset spreads

over sand dunes warm golden.

Stars gliding past heaven

as night explodes in

cathedrals of light.

We bed down together in

forest of memories

your body so strong golden

last summer with you.

Apple Time

Red yellow brown carpets

of crunchy leaves spread

out to welcome you.

You are coming home to aromas

of cinnamon and me.  I've been

waiting so long

to touch you

   feed you

   juicy apples.

Finally you are here.

Red giant stars

growing

our names

glowing

in neons

for eons.

Winter Solstice

Ice blue mountains,

wind swept skies.

There are always these...

And you standing

silent as the sun

burning through

this day.

You are my sun

my heaven on earth.

You bring bright ribbons

handfuls of crystal

to fasten my hair.

Stay with me this

long evening.  I will

hide in your arms away

from ice blue winds.

We will be warm together.
