Love Poem: Evelyn

Evelyn

I love you Evelyn my almond eventide
Hazy stars shy in the sky hearts are equalized
Let us sing the song of roses those sleep in peace
Let me sing it for you dear to my heart's release


The clouds drift over us they must go undisturbed
They are going to the east and they are well garbed
They will join the festival of rains at the Tains
How long shall we keep our souls in the pouch of pains?

Let us bless our bodies under Margosa Tree
Twine chords of love fibers hand to hand knee to knee
Let the Gods speak from podium to bless our vault
We have dipped our green hearts in the earth's common salt

The evening trickles down the milky wall of sky
To the night of seeddropping, to the field of rye
