Write me a summer song <br />plant here a warming kiss <br />seed it in these furrows long <br />in sunsets' languid dip. <br /> <br />Sing lyrics to my buried soul <br />which lives beneath <br />in numbing receded cold. <br /> <br /> <br />Sing to me underground <br />another season's bloom. <br />See my soul steeled against <br />against this dying cold abyss. <br /> <br />I shall not die in winter's cold <br />nor miss this year's summer's kiss <br />I'll bloom my soul's flower <br />in garden green- <br />my petals high sky'ed- <br />flower flights and butterflies <br />star dust destines; <br />all my hopes mingled. <br /> <br />Plant me here then <br />on ready cheek <br />just one summer's kiss, <br />my furrow to bloom <br />my soul 'neath <br />will rise fully watered <br />flowers fully bloomed; <br /> <br />Now start in me another <br />Hope's Season <br />even beneath <br />my winter's frozen <br />soil. <br />And here regard <br />Winter's frozen bloom <br />kissed by your summer lips <br />your's planted <br />upon mine.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-s-kiss/
