On an August Night

We worshiped salt and sand,

stars and smoke.

We ran down dirty streets

and stumbled into daydreams.

We found, for the night,

purpose for our once aimless hope.

Summertime

Summer fills me with

warmth and relief,

like a bottle of Theraflu

would on a sick day

I Once Tried To Grow In Summer

I once tried to grow in summer

But everyone crowded out my roots.

I learned and I adapted

Now I bloom in winter-

Thriving off the absence of the living

Sun Dance

Daydreams framed in yellow

liquid sunshine caressing pores

billowed swirls of waves frothing

sun bending low to take a drink

warm slinking sultry steps

bathing in summer sun dance.

Summer pageant

The rain sets the stage

Trees fashion parade

The wind dictates the tune

Water drops beats perfume

The Lightning paparazzo

Capturing natures beauty

Shutter thunder follows

In Summer We Shed Layers Like Scorpions

Ice cubes on our lips,

Cold mouths

Laugh so loud

That our echoes

Make the fireflies

Flicker.

We consecrate this place

With sweat and skin,

Living like death is approaching.

Summer love 1999

Between spring dew

And autumn leaves

The summer lilies bloomed

They filled the air

With scents so sweet

Then withered slowly

In the heat

Summertime Happiness

Hot sunshine and sweat

Cold, sweet lemonade

Salt and sand, crashing waves

Crickets chirping

Sky full of stars

Road trips with friends

Traveling near and far

This is summer

Hot, Wet

Honeydew thighs dripping saccharine juices:

womanish girl blitzkrieged by animal chemicals.

Whispers laced with lust,

your heart beating in my lips,

we fuck in flypaper humidity,

free from society's spiderwebs.
