WITH YOU


As you snuggle into my arms
seasons change names--
Spring in full bloom In the garden
of our eyes moves to a frantic corner
bowing in earnest to a soft shower,
assuring again and again
of love’s sweet rain,
a promise of sure release
from wait’s futile pain ;


the Sun of my desire melts
into colours of your rainbow love
filling the contours of Summer’s body
with drops of dew from above ;


the winter of your fears
fades like Autumn’s yellow leaves
into the lawn of my pining heart,
the midnight blues of my mind
vanish into hues of petals
on your lips always dyeing new art.


Rain or Summer
Autumn or Winter
Ice or fire
Sun or water--
we are always there
doing something new
to Love
changing formal weather.
