Lady Francesca

AUGUST WARMTH

Cushioned between your warm love
secure within its depths
I lay beside you
in joy so seldom known.

Gentle laughter, soft blue-eyed gazes
penetrate my captive soul
and set it free
like a bird bursting into flight.

Oh love, my love
how kind you make the world seem
as you shelter me from the stormy sea
suspended in love over cliffs of time...
Believing in forever.

Entwined moments of secret dreams
of promises meant only for us
tender words and breathless sighs...
Oh, to know the magic of one.

The sun rises and the sun sets
reflecting all the colors of our love
onto the peaceful water
like a mirror for all the heavens to see.

Oh August warmth I remember
Of a special love and a special time
As the tide rushes in, it also returns
and now,
only seashells remain.
