LOVE COMPARED
I shall compare our love to evenings, made mellow in wind songs and fragrant bayleaf, swaying as if mystified, dunked in infatuation.

The breeze is an ardent lover, embracing: tree, flower, leaf branch. It casts spells, whimsical, magical to leaves and petals. Spellbound some fall spinning dazed to tenderly kiss the ground, there to lay as carpets spread.

eventide cooler
than the drought parched dog day -
