Summer Romance
Summer romance
Our game of chance
Lost in a trance
Perpetual prance
Felt like forever
No thought to sever
Took no measure
To part with the treasure
Was a bad boy
This was my ploy
She was just coy
Loved her new toy
Our world was lit
The past a dark pit
Adored being bit
Or grabbing a…

This Spectral Love
That girl, she loves my jazz
Eyes closed, she twirls
Her pearly whites revealing
A momentary content

Digging in her heels
Takes the fix for the kicks

Hearts tethered
It will be weathered

Such a simple, yet transcendent, treat
That year’s autumn leaves were red and gold
Thinking of them now strikes a pleasant, if somewhat melancholic, chord
The days you walked with me like the Lord
And you were
That year’s autumn leaves and you
Contentedness shared by us two
Harmonic Convergence bestowed on the lucky few
Peace of mind that I knew
Nat King Cole said it best: “Since you went away the days grow long…”
This is evidenced by many of my poems and songs
Many people, sometimes myself, think I should stop, that it’s wrong
The creative outlet, however, is too strong
