Unspoken dream glints summer’s amber eve Caressing sweet musings longings appease Where motifs of romance ecstasies weave When requited desires strum twilight breeze Buoyant blows season’s mirth lilting lush glee When blazing rendezvous emotions churn Courting heart’s appeal in indulgent plea Where blossoms of bliss fond fantasies yearn Beholden to your glance when heavens glow How do the robins know to trill your song And wooing night's fervor where passions go Why does flirting moon always come along Believe me, my dear, goddess of love knows Though secrets of hearts she’ll never disclose May 19, 2021 Placed 1st: Summer love sonnet contest Sponsor: John Hamilton Placed 1st: All yours (May 27) by Brian Strand
