The future

\nIn the winter you are springtime, you’re azaleas in bloom,
\nYou’re a bunch of deep red roses, you are sunlight in the gloom.
\nWhen the world around is freezing you are warm inside my mind,
\nIf I think about your laughter all the snow is left behind.<\/p>\n
In the spring you will be summer, long hot days beside the sea,
\nBalmy breezes on an island washed by waves of poetry.
\nYou are fresh vanilla ice-cream, you are candyfloss to eat,
\nYou are all that’s hot and spicy, you are all that’s cool and sweet.<\/p>\n
In the summer you’re my Autumn, you are rich reds turning gold,
\nYou are apple crisp and tasty, you’re a perfect peach to hold,
\nYou are all the flaming spectrum that New England puts on show,
\nYou’re a sip of home made cider, you are Beaujolais Noveau.<\/p>\n
When the days start growing shorter, you aren’t Autumn any more —
\nYou’re a billion shining snowflakes in a carpet on the floor,
\nYou are children owning Christmas, you are hedges jewelled by frost,
\nYou are all the ancient magic that the modern world has lost.<\/p>\n
Will you always be my future, just a little out of reach,
\nNot the girl who holds me closer but the beauty on the beach?
\nBut at night I have my answer, you are waiting in my bed,
\nIn the world I’m not yet with you but you’re mine inside my head!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
