On quiet mornings like this The fog withdraws b'fore the dogs brawl The shroud of despair covers me Like last night's cold sheet All over us, like some unseen wall Wherein we cannot hear each other You don’t talk to me– You no longer do. I wish, I would know why I wish, you would say somethin'
I miss you, like that— The sun, exploding b’fore Raybans and endless blue sky At sunflower fields where We play hide ‘n’ seek You flash a smile at me, Like how the sunflowers— Follow the sun All through the day ‘til it got away.
I was just a wayfarin' stranger, B’fore I was your summer love. I was out of your plans, You didn’t see me comin'. I was not part of the symmetry— The Fibonacci sequence That runs in your blood In your hair, in your skin, In your heart.
I am just a distraction— In the morning, you will see The light, guidin' you Some orbit, holdin' you in place 'til you complete a cycle Of your seasonal journey; Prized seeds of youthful aspirations
You will wilt, soon enough And close your eyes After the crows devour On your dreams— Nightmares that fed, On exotic seeds. But I am here, guardin’ you Will scare them ‘til they— Fly away ‘n’ never come back, Like this once summer We all ever have. For our love ‘n’ happiness Only grown in sunflower fields
Summer love is the shortest, but often the sweetest. x
