You remind me of summertime
Feverish, wrathful and long days
When the passions trapped between our lips
Dance at noon, freezing
The scenes of bliss that
Decorates the empty caverns of our hearts
Being and becoming all at once
You remind of summertime
When the air burns wickedly
And we stagger to breathe-in
The chaos and outbursts of the sun
When the branches sway gayly
As the warm hushed wind passes infinity
You remind me of summertime
When our backs lay flat on hard dry earth
As grasses entangle beneath our feet
Just as our arms embrace each others nearness
You remind me of summertime
Of many things about the world
All the things that have been said
And all the things that are yet to be said
You remind me of summertime
When the exhuberance of youth
Is on full display, running and carousing
On the streets at twilight
Or under the hushed divinity of the rosy dawn
You remind me of summertime
Just as we carry the weight of yesterdays
In these fleeting remembrances
When all things bright and sunny
And dark and turgid are found and lost
From all the people that had come by and stopped, from those who walked beside, and those who ran with us amidst the fast changing of the sun.
You still and ever will, remind me of that time.
