Summer

Maturity no longer in doubt,

It is here.

Voluptuous youth:

Seductive, undulating, juicy,

Ready for the plucking.

No  dream,

This dazzling truth.

We endure frustration and defeat
No earthly lovers can compete,

Tempting, barely beyond reach.

When regained,
So sublimely sweet

Exceeds any wild wet breach.

When again,

At last, we are complete.

Satiated, fueled, restored.

The promise

Sustains, remains, stains

 our lips evermore.
