The Seasons of Love
by Lyle Berry (Age: 61)
copyright 07-13-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
As Spring, love is conceived, a fertile seed
in silence grows ‘til it burgeons brand new
with bloom that explodes to eagerly be
nourished by sweet lust – ardor’s morning dew.

As Summer, love flourishes, rampant with dreams
of stamen and pistil imagery bold,
birds and bees and innocent youthful schemes,
never a thought for what the future holds.

As Fall, love matures, still vibrant though milder,
artful pursuits - tastes for more steadfast ways
begin to supplant most leanings wilder.
Mellowness pervades those abridging days.

As Winter, love wanes, dormant - not by age,
since desire is seldom quelled by mere years,
but oft’ by circumstance and pent-up rage;
rendered impotent and full of cold tears.

Heh! Look at all the poems lately about seasons. Well, we do reflect many of the qualities of the seasons with our lives, don't we? Children are like the spring, growing and flourishing. Young adults are like the summer, hot and passionate. Mature adults have calmed a bit and shed some of thier beauty like Autumn. And Seniors now don snow capped hair do's atop frozen stilted dreams and bridled wishes. Sigh... what imagery.
