The Four Seasons of Love


By Brigitte Gastel written on October 17, 2025 in Belleville, Illinois
Soft as the wind in springtime *
        gentle as the sun above the sky
innocent as snowwhite clouds are passing by *
        sweet as the breath of flowers
tender as the blossoms on trees *
        soothing like spring dreaming breeze
silent as the stars in the universe *
        mysterious as the moon at midnight
beautiful as the landscape in our sight *
        I will be only for you - my love

        Burning as the sun in sommer
waves of heat sending to the earth *
        giving new birth
for passion and admiration *
        for longing without hesitation
hot and feverish I will be *
        only the coolness of the sea
will sooth the excitement you will feel for me *
        I will set your body on fire
until the whole of you burns in desire *
        for me
laughter in darkness *
        wishes and dreams
will stay in your mind *
        leaving your past behind
to live only for the moments of now *
        that is how
I am going to love you *

As the colours are changing in autumn *
        and the quite season approaching us
I will be your blanket of leaves *
        which are steadily covering the grass
I will have you bound *
        to stand still
looking at the beauty of nature *
        scenes of valleys and hills
bedded in incredible delight *
        truly a miracle of our season
don't ask me for which reason *
        I want you to rest by my side
from morning to night *
        as the mist of dawn
is silently flying away *
        I want you to stay
and share the mystery of our love *
        and above
the calmness and comfort in me *
        a timeless experience
that is how my love for you will be *

As the snowflakes are dancing from heaven *
        happily moisturizing the soil
curiously exploring the people and land *
        standing together under God's creation
my heart does not need an explanation *
        of the love I have to give
I will break coolness and ice *
        I will bring you to heights
of peace and meditation *
        of prayers and salvation
I will be the warmth of a wooden fire *
        you want to touch
I won't ask for much *
        except for your love
which is the beginning and the end *
        a unigue feeling
to mold two people into one *
        I want to take you in
deeply under my skin *
        lovingly reaching out
with sincerity and honesty *
        because I do care
and I want to share *
        my love with you

        I will be four seasons under the sun
melting into one *
        spring, summer, fall and winter combined
the pattern of my life is signed *
        and resting in your hands
I give it away with joy in my heart *
        because you are part
of me *
        that is how my love will be
for you.*
