      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Thursdays with You - Emma F Payne

      Acknowledgments

      To my one and only love, my wife.

      You continue to inspire me with every breath you take.

      Thank you for your unwavering support

      Preface

      Most of the poems in this book were written in a time of secrecy and uncertainty when I could not live a genuine and authentic life. Each poem in these pages has been woven with great care and affection. May these verses serve as an exploration of your understanding of love and equality. After years of writing and keeping every poem to myself, I finally decided that my experience must be shared with those who may relate.

      She is now yours.

      Please, treat her kindly.

      In fields of emerald ivy, we laid.

      Two lovers in a natural way.

      Though whispered stigmas echo loud,

      Our love is proud and pure.

      The breeze stirs up the trees,

      While sunshine kisses our dewy knees;

      The sparrows sing a joyous song,

      As we moved along in solitude.

      Midnight

      She thinks her eyes are not lovely,

      Unless
