Like Summer

I want to love you softly

Like summer rain

The gentle mist

That kisses your skin

As you turn

Your face to the sky

I want to love you sweetly

As a summer breeze

That whispers

Of yesterdays and tomorrows

And carries the scent

Of summer flowers

And the hum of soft words

I want to love you deeply

Like summer nights

That wrap you in darkness

And fill your silence

With music heard

From a far away voice

I want to love you brightly

As the summer moon

Emerging from a cloud

And every star

That fills the night sky

I want to love you warmly
Like the summer sun
That colours your skin
And flushes your cheeks
With heat and sweat
I want to love you
Like summer
