One Summer Past Poem by Kevin Hulme

It is Evening, the day neither yes or no
And the shadows sweep the accents of June,
And in the Western Sky there's a burning glow
That foretell of farewells that are gathering soon.
For so I wait on the approaching hour
By the fountain that stands in the Square,
To the parade of fine beds that are radiant in flower
That we chose for this parting to share.
It was the Summer with a Soirée of fond days
Where sweet thoughts reside in your name,
How our Love was displayed in a thousand true ways
For when Hera was called her Spirit so came.
For the Summer was ours with its Tenets now paid
With bright Lanes and Wandering Brook,
Our Elysian was found in Sunlight and Shade
By Meadows full green and dim leafy Nook.
Enough that I fell so crashingly hard
And being lost like a grief stricken Child,
What life that I have is now incurably scared
By a passion of days that were careless and wild.
But what dreams were bred could never Bloom
Your Heart to another being sworn,
To other life's we must return quite soon
So all guise we must surely
adorn.
I now see you appear down the light-dabbled walk
The Sun flitting Gold with your hair,
Are those tears that preclude all trembling talk
For the departure we are emboldened to bare?
Now the time moves apace to the parting of ways
How it hurts when I see that you cry,
Was ever such pain endured when we say
That simplest of words in the form of Goodbye.
