Fireflies Dancing with the Atlantic's breeze Evading the wind's of darkness We desperately tried to capture The essence of our burning Like fireflies we lit up the summer nights Floating beneath silver stars and pine boughs Yellow-green with the life of Carolina Flickering was the light of our youth And warm were those summer evenings Warm as the touch of love's first caress More tender than the breath of twilight Twisting now in memory to loosen The lid of youth's jarred captivity Freeing fireflies long bound Love's Castles Where do those feelings go? When the years Wear down with erosive force Love's layered walls When first the warmth of passion Releases its embrace and desire Carries away fulfillment's longing. Hugs and soft kisses soon follow suit Chased by endearing phrases Consumed like the last glimmer of day Leaving spellbound frogs To dream of magic kisses, Lilly pad enchantments, And buttress-walled castles of love Her Brown Eyes He could never get anything By her brown eyes; no trick Or treat worth keeping crept Past her sharp owl-brown eyes, Reddish-brown like the wing Feathers of a Barred Owl, soft And sensuous in round- curving, Intelligent her wise brown eyes Seeing through the darkness Of him: seeing sure the rodent Scurry in the pale blueness his Soul reflected back to her heart. In the coolness of her brown pools He could never swim too deeply. Main Page This site sponsered by
