Little Bit Better Days

Cœur d'Été

Your heart glows, Summer
Like the embers embedded in
the core of your eyes
It pours amber light
as you revive lifeless fields
of rose trees and scenting jasmine

Your kiss warms, Summer
and the pond of ice once known as my heart
re-emerges a clattering stream,
flowing t'ward a shimmering fall

Summer, mon chèri
One hundred golden days with you
Bees' ll buzz, birds'll chitter,
flowers will bloom like our love
One hundred nights of soft, sweet care
I promise not to miss one single drop of dew
or flick of light from firefly

I'll store in my depths, to hold me tight
To remember and relish
till you awaken again
after you've closed your eyes.
