beaches

The bright golden sun

warm on my skin. An ocean

breeze comes blowing in .

Sunflowers

Thousands of faces

turn to the bright of the sun

nestled together

orange pumping heart

a sunset streaking my cheeks

warmth spreads in the soul.

Summer Walk

Lively streets at play-

mournful clouds depart disdain,

straying tempting winds.

Encore:

Blinding rays fatigue,

whispering thumping heartache

saved by comical blues.

Summer Heat

Dripping rain runs dry;

Flowing streams turn to dry steam;

Dead fields cry dry tears.

It’s Summertime!

When gold emerges

Through glints of each undertone

Summers grasp is shown

thirst

sun glares, oppressive

scorch stifling respiration

my glass is empty

The End of Summer

I wish I could go

Back. I wasted so much time.

What if it's my last?

Summer

Gold shimmers throughout the valley

Slight waves of heat made known

Overtaken by beauty, I watch
