Summer Thread

Summer Thread

Summer Brook

Free-Verse

The gentle whisper in the air

Against the breeze of the grass

A lonesome water lily blooms in the midst 

Between the stones and the fish that pass

The wind breathes a sigh of sadness

That lingers through the air

This summer feels a little different

She feels manipulated and scared

Summer is a time to escape

To feel the warmth from the sun

But the brook is a place to feel free

Put them together and you may just have won

The summer brook is used and exploited for reasons unexplained 

The flowers plucked and the trees cut down in unfathomable pain

She wants to run and scream and shout at those along the way

Yet, she keeps it all sucked inside until the time she has to pay

The summer brook believes that someday she’ll get away

But for now, she’ll sit and wait, in an unreasonable dismay

Summer Sonnet

Haiku

Two souls interlocked

Born and destined together

Each of them complete

Regret You All Night

Sonnet 

The thrill of the loss 

After the peace subsided

Our stone hearts engulfed in moss

Once we were left, crashed and collided 

I sit and think of all the hurt

That wilted inside the vase

You spit me out on a patch of dirt

Then left without a trace

I’ll never find a love like yours

But it was anything but true

Loving you was like a chore 

Lost in hues of black and blue

The melancholic feeling of getting lost in your eyes

Betrayed me through the seasons, to a regretful surprise

Summer Breeze

Free Verse

an imperfectly perfect friend

a girl that i hold so dear

i live through her music

through her eyes and her ears

we share a bond so close 

and through every passing moment

i hope as i grow i learn

how to radiate like summer

A Summer Thought

Free Verse

Each time I let you back in again

To every day is another moment we spend

Each time I lie and break things for you

Is another time I wonder if we are through

Each time I give you a piece of my heart

To every day I'm left in the dark

Each time I cry in bed over you

Is another time I wish these things we wouldn’t do

Every time I run around in circles for you

To every day that turns into dark shades of blue

Each time I call you and tell you we’re done

Is another time I know deep down you have won
