30 An Autumn Friendship
01 Many Years Ago 02 True Words From The Heart
****************************************************************************************************
Many years a go on a Guy Fawke’s night
In a green-field of Broadway Village
With some friends we stood quite close to the edge
Of the bon-fire and its burning light
The cold autumn wind with its icy bite
Brought the two of us, who were young in age
To be close enough to whisper a pledge
Which would honour love with all our might
It was a moment for youthful friendship
A great evening to two innocent minds
Who thought one soft kiss could mean the whole world An Autumn Friendship
A seal of true love, a statement to keep Sonnet 087
For those were the days when hearts were so kind Petrarca
And actions did speak much louder than words D6/18/02/2005
02 True Words From The Heart
True words from the heart spoken through gestures
That night did reveal a deeper feeling
For love that was pure and all embracing
Magnified the joy of an adventure
A light gentle kiss, a sense of pleasure
A kiss on the lips, done without thinking
A sight of closed eyes and sound of breathing
All seemed divine to such mortal creatures
It was an autumn to be remembered
And cherished always, for all its beauty
An Autumn Friendship An event in time, a mystical night
Sonnet 088 When life was so young and love had entered
Petrarca To grace human souls with sweet empathy
AD 2005 That gently acted as their guiding light
