Love Poem: August Crush

August Crush

Moist with evenfall
A scented flower in full bloom
Breaking July’s last darkness

Its murmuration
In absence
Like silence in a broken glass

Rippling echoes
Penetrating
Through ephemeral shadows

Spilling letters
And undaunting rhythms
Too dense to stifle

But I believe in amber
Carnations and white roses
Pink sunsets and blue noon moons

And your unquestionable presence
Under this galaxy of stars
Against the recurring tides

How long will your light hold?
And your drifting song linger?
Without strings and ambience

So
Will you seize my wish?
and build with me
You drifting song,
August Crush.
