Southern Wind

Tonight the wind rides southward
In the season of passion and glory
Where hearts meet,
Mingle, and then merge

Angels above shy from judgment
For only in the heart of youth
Is this crime laden with
A pure tender torch .

Brief, quiet, soft moments are these
When all the world's surroundings
Falls to a subdued hush.
Inside a burning bliss
penetrates with a beckoned joy.
A longing  is relit from
A flame almost forgotten.

As the parting rushes near
So too denied emotions
Erupt in these last moments.
Here one's eyes dance,
Reflecting within the others gaze,
Long after theier final embrace,
The two as one, are left
With the the lasting savor of
A wine that kissed two souls.

A very touching view into the world of a once forgotten love. Great flow and imagery. Good work.

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
