You are… Still my Summer’s wish. And yes, you mean everything You believed you did, To me. You are… Still so wondrous. A practical deity, You are my Goddess, And this is a promise I don’t make so thoughtlessly. Daily, I visit your temple. Nightly, I reminisce. May these confessions reveal to you Who I […]
