Summer Sonnet

Honeysuckle vines, butterflies and bees Red-orange sunset slides and disappears You and I on front porch sipping ice tea Sitting side by side after all these years When I look into your eyes so deep blue Our hands entwine and we lean in to kiss A warmth engulfs my heart, you feel it too Summer love and passion leading to bliss The many years of dancing and playing Moonlight and gentle breezes caress us Familiarity serenading Desire rising from a lifetime of trust Under the heavens feeling heavenly Secure that our love a lifetime will be May 15, 2018 Summer Love Sonnet Contest by John Hamilton N/A

Sounds like a perfect summer night, Susan. Give me a porch swing, a glass of sweet tea, a beautiful woman on a hot summer night and i would think I had died and gone to heaven:)
