lavender eyes
1 min readMay 30, 2020
blessed be this sweet summer’s day
when your lavender eyes
in my love unalone bath,
& paint my childhood skies
with colors of your shadowed path
that on my fair forest face softly lay!
***
Caressed be this sweet summer’s night!
when your lavender eyes
in my summer’s lap asleep fall,
and the poems I no more recall
with your colors of sleep
on my face you softly write!
***
(from strangers of wall)
