Four Seasons of Love
Love in the Winter cold
is best shared by a fire.
The heat that’s shared is two-fold.
Love is Springtime’s outpouring
warm and sweet like the first rain
whose wetness is life-restoring.
Love in the Summer sweat
brings sultry weekends at seaside
climaxed by lying to watch the sunset.
Love in the Autumn, at best
brings a devilish bite to the air
and leaves, like broken hearts, to harvest.
