BEWITCHED
Hummingbirds flirted with Autumn flowers. Intoxicated with the fragrance of all the roses in the world, I basked in the radiance of lovers' kisses under bowers, watched fall air quiver as a butterfly unfurled its wings on my bare chest. I hungered for you. Picking blades of grass beside a river where I chose to rest, I licked ripples off your naked skin, surfed unimagined heights on our together nights.
Yet, when we meet in the fall, will I have forgotten your love call amongst those whistling reeds and the vibration of infinite cords? I know that fading willow-trees will invite me to tarry awhile, I'll answer to bewitching smiles in that cool shade beyond, where nymphs trace curves on the surface of serene ponds.
Yet Summer fled... Autumn moon ! I grow old. I might loose my way among sensuous forms of noon that transcend both you and me. I might chase moonbeams that beckon from peaks of mountains. The essence of my life will be a dream. No. I shall drink only from your fountain because one day it will lead me to the ocean. I'll sing to you with exalted heart, pursue your teasing lips, impulsive feet, set the whole universe in motion. Yet now, until the last breath of Summer departs, I shall rest on the banks of this mossy creek.
