Summer of the Oak

Missing image
He grows like the vine
That twists around her soul
Spirits of the earth and air
Move around his blinded eyes
He is summer
When autumn whispers his name
He is spring
When winter freezes out the wind
That desperately seeks her wings
But she lies frozen in time

And he blooms
When the first summer rose comes to call his name
His name is magical
Mystery surrounds his body
Untouched by human hands
He is summer
He is the maker of dreams
And the taker of hearts

She weeps icicle tears that drip
Souless into the ether
Searching for her seasonal man
He stretches to the sound of summer love
Knowing that he can
Unaware of the beauty that whispers his name
His limbs grow taller as the summer sun bathes
His very soul

    it seems daddy came home in this one aswell.. but in this case.. he's a sugar daddy.. lmfao.. oh my i need a nap.. and mayhaps a nice jacket that ties at the back.. yepp.. its accounting season again.. which means.. inane jabbering from not only comments.. but poems aswell from me..

    but just cause its inane jabbering.. doesn't mean it won't be highly educational.. =)



    time for 2 more.. than i get a nap..

    " He grows like the vine
    That twists around her soul "...

    Thought this was a PERFECT description of being in love...
    or perhaps the impact a soulmate can have on you as a
    whole...

    Mmmmm...reads it again...

    Does this sum up the " dream " of what a potential partner
    might be like ? Or should be like ? If he is reality ,
    sounds like a pretty puuurrrrfect fella to me ! And there
    ain't many of them about !!

    Enjoyed

    LOVELY

    thats so COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
    AND I LIKE THIS PART
    Mystery surrounds his body
    Untouched by human hands
    He is summer
    He is the maker of dreams
    And the taker of hearts

    OMG this is simply beautiful Gill!!

    He is summer
    He is the maker of dreams
    And the taker of hearts

    She weeps icicle tears that drip
    Souless into the ether
    Searching for her seasonal man


    Breath taking!!

    This poem is a myriad of beautiful imagery and tasteful words . . . when I say tasteful, I mean I can actually taste them in my mouth. I loved the theme, the way that the persona had so much power. A wonderful love poem, thank you for sharing.
