Sweet August Days to Come

Missing image
to be read to the melody of "Sweet August Days to Come"

0:04
June suns move, so slow;

   late evening airs…

 

where your eyes, captured in fires, linger,

   then away, cast upon clouds    

 sailing to our song

  two gifts of love,    

    memories in

                      trailing summer nights…

0:33
Trailing lights fade, singing summer warmth,
    summer warmth…
  evening cool… evening cool twilights

sing to you

  singing…

0:49
softly sing of our days to come,
     of our sweet August days to come…

of the warm August days loving you
,
  loving…


 of the warm August days to come.

 

 thinking of August, with you

   in the warm August days

                                             with you…

 

1:08

    June suns move, slowly move,  
  toward the sweet August days to come.

 

 where we'll be together, again.

    A serenade of entrancing love

    A serenade of love in the hues of summer. With August as focal point, this love is warmed by a passionate sun that brings it fiery heart into moments spent together. What an experience you two have created for the reader! Two distinctly different creative mediums melding into one, the best of each enhancing the other, explosive in their interlude, calming in their vicissitude, much like the love you describe. What an entrancing love it is.

    i like the way you formatted the poem and the way it flows and the repitions are interesting and the imagery is great.

      thanks, the repetitions are melody-driven here...

  • great melody to set this up with. I read it through the first time without the melody but once you get the tempo from the song to put the words to you can capture what inspired you to write this poem. very nice job

      thanks, and after a few more suffix and punctuation changes the rework goes on...

  • This is such the whispy romantic read flowing down the page like a feather floating through the air just waiting for a dream to land on.

    Nicely composed!

      thanks, and the nice part here is that we can get reactions, and just keep working on a piece until the reviews are steady raves (which requires more magic than skill, and hence, is sometimes never achieved)...

  • very well done. i am happy to have clicked on this write as it made my day a bit brighter. thank you for sharing and i am looking forward to reading more from you in the near future. viyanna rosemarie

      lol thanks- hopeless, yes... and I hope you were able to read it to the melody, and if so, that you were carried away on currents of dreams...
