Among Blossoms

 Summer haze, summer gaze, summer daze; Snuck
back to me on unexpected days, in unexpected ways,
It lingers still, what was once there, twice there,

always there. Among blossoms, April’s day – coffee
places, familiar faces; Recycled playlists, undeleted,
undefeated, lingering,
Always lingering, never not
lingering.

Dark of winter – light up the skies on mourning
nights; Linger here, so far away, so very near,
unexpectedly near, Return to the same ways, same
days, same gaze. Don’t leave my skin, let it not renew
before touch returns; Summer haze, summer gaze,
summer days, From afar, from close, yearn and be
yearned, Stay right here, far or near.
