Umbrella Lights (7/14/23)

There are lights under umbrellas

The hour is golden

If only you were here

To see the light as the embodiment

Of you

There's a glass half empty

Another half full

I've raised many in your memory

There are lights under umbrellas

My twinkling gaze is mesmerized

With women in awe of my words

I am not alone

And for just this once

These moments

I find myself content

There are lights under umbrellas

I'm starstruck we beauty leads me

Away

This garden is hidden

A night so striking

It's a perfect memory

And it's mine.
