My birthday is in August and has always been my favorite month of the year. Here’s a poem I wrote about it.

Cool August,

My favorite time of year.

For centuries, my anniversary.

You are the love I hold most dear.

With my lion heart

Awaiting the time

Of rebirth

Of the sublime.

Pale September,

The season I most loath

It takes away the warm breezes.

To my dear august, I do woe.

I see you in vision

Of pale blue light.

I see you in honest springs

In the center of twilight.

I long for the time of birthday dreams.

An auspicious pallet of tastes divine.

A lover’s hand do I see turn to dust.

No more the strong gentle and kind.

Age takes the vessels

But not the soul.

Love brings back the memories

That once turned to coal.

Cease the fire

In these words we do jest.

As we wait for time

Bring back our Cool August.
