Quatrain of Dog Days

Dog Days - hot days of summer

1.
List the dog days in your life,
are they numerous and of great
sweat?

Did you bath in constant motion
when you made my heart all
wet?

I loved you when the sun came up,
foremost, I loved you all day
long,

But now the eve has cooled,
I must admit, my love I cannot
prolong.

2.
Those hot days, the burning of
common sense, the craving I
mustered,

Had my stormy emotions all
heated up as my soul became
flustered,

The ravishing of muscles known
to love making, so carnal as the
heat,

Burned out the meaning I once
endured, before the day ended in
retreat.

3.
Perhaps we will love again,
perhaps we will just drift on up to
heaven,

But we can look back at those
days when our urges contained
leaven,

If dog days return once more and
you are so inclined to slip into
sin,

Call, I shall be ready to let sunshine
attempt to get between our
skin,
