Nightglow---A Summer Song

Nightglow A Summer Song
By 
Jude Kyrie

The perfume of summer 
falls sweetly into the night air.
If I breathe softly 
I catch the fragrance 
of my lover’s hair.
And this nocturnal dampness
shall hold me here transfixed
throughout the last shadows 
of nightfall. 
If heaven were to fill my
glass with ambrosia.
And I were to drain it 
in a single swallow.
This Nightglow would still see me
standing sober and mellow.
My eyes fixed upon the heady bloom
of the summer moon.
The wild clematis and honeysuckle
tangled in its gentle light.
Sleep shall remain far away.
As I swallow the last of the 
honeyed sweetness 
of this nightglow.

Ahhhh!
Summer Nights
A glass of Chablis
And The Night Garden.
Jude
