Eventide

I ask of the night why it slips into my

bedroom and extinguishes Earth's

light,

He replied softly,

"I'm a jealous lover and my shade

of evening lies down beside you,

as we bid the augustness of the

sun adieu."

I laugh and weep at the same time,

as I'm in love with the four season's

soirees he enchants my heart with.

Many years ago, walking slowly

hand in hand with my lifeguard

lover on the sands of Fire Island,

I thought love's charms would last,

his fire with starlight,

jewels of moonlight and kisses-

with summer's wane he faded

into September's wooing embrace.

Yet, glorious eventide was always

there,

and as he filled my eyes with the

swallow's flight,

he whispered breathlessly,

"You are mine to keep." ~
