Love's Season Poem by Barry Middleton

love has a season
a season of youth
hot summer wind

we lay in the sun
till darkness came
we lay together
in passion's heat
in the peace after

fall is a warning
cool air needs fire

I look in your eyes
the fuel of love
has burned away
the cold has come

winter wind is ice
death is all around
I will not surrender

when spring comes
I dream of the flower

your kiss is a rose
your touch is a soft
and tender blossom
