Love's Games are in Season Again

Love's games are in season

A faithful butterfly

On a flower’s favourite petals

The night driven light

Upon the virgin breast

The lustrous eyes

And the river’s roving

The children of the moment

And the next morning’s tears

Come bring your script

Love’s games are in season again.

 

Soft as seed

Yet with roots

Honour the children of yesterday

Turn to life tomorrow

And today

Love’s games are in season

 

From seed to resplendent tree

With numerous songbirds nesting

In the willful harmony

Of choir boys lusty songs

Enchanted pipers, stubborn directions

Weeping laughing living dying

But oh so filling, so fulfilling

Each moment was known to you and me.

 

In a moment

Lighter than a presence unseen

Night is inviting the godhead

With starry fingers stroking

Tresses of moon glades

And love’s games are in season.

 

The tales of love

Legends blessed of time

As we love and are gone

The roots and seeds

Find new seasons

In a garden of young voices

And love games are in season again.
