Summer Night

Amid the remnant crowd of the summer ball,
I spotted a lithe frail girl standing on her own.
A two drinks courage and a recital
pushed me toward this apparition.

I mumbled something, etherized on the scene,
Drawn and resurrected when, timidly on the lawn
you kissed me. I, then blessed, find i am humming;
joyfully swimming in one indistinct drone

I held you tight like I held you for the last time,
Spinning along the music in my awkward arms.
As the moonlight lingers a moment on both our heads
I whisper to your ear the words of someone else.

And in the leafy kiosk we danced when the band was gone.
we laid on the grass and gloried the splendent thane.
you kissed my eye and held my hand,
contemplating the moon in its descent to dawn.

I, then blessed, find I am humming in the summer night.
