Summer River

by JE Lillie

Hold me fast

With your languid stare.

Bind my gaze

Reflection.

Summer River tie me there

By the bank of lies.

_

Heated days

Wear that smile. Call truth

Deception.

Vernal days

Tell me falsehoods if only

To restore my peace.

_

Current flow

Wash away the days

Of facing

Perception.

Let warm waters reassure

Ignorance is bliss.

Shadorma (3 – 5 – 3 – 3 – 7 – 5)
six lines – no rhymes – multiple stanzas [your choice] – just follow meter
