Postscript to a Summer Love©

I thought I had
A love like Summer
That heady holder of my being
And I could drown
Myself
And never think of surfacing

I thought I had
A love like summer
That all encompassing feeling
And I could lose
Sensation
Of all else there

I found I had
A thought of Summer love
A whisper of passion
Only the pain
That sapped my Strength
And I wander about
In a loveless desert
Of Longing
