Love Poem: Chestnut Fires

Chestnut Fires

Sashay then away 
dangling mane  burning 
under a chestnut gaze 

Fire filters a scented breeze 
trotted off to the east 
summer slips  a gown of gold 
churning amorous waves in need 

Hush now  this night 
held sighs abreast 
soothe my blushes rouge 
that breathe 

Lie down my faith 
where last rushes flow 
amidst a pledge bestowed
