Roses are red, violets are blue, i long to be with you.

Reminiscent of the summer, when rusty skin was an evidence that i carried the sun in my heart

with a glowing auburn hair like a flame dancing in the wind.

i hear the sound of the bird flying home etched across the sky.

i carry in me, the sun’s final breathe stroked with shades of orange in the sky,

i carry in it a warm breath of the sun’s embrace leaving the earth.

My spirit was an embodied intimacy with life’s pleasure.

My skin was the only thread hanging in my body,

the desire of touch filled by every passing breeze

and the thirst quenched by the cool oceans water

rising, rising- boom, a firework in the sky, its the 4th of july.

Leaving lovers with trails of red kisses upon their lips,

And under the full moon, you arrived,

and the world held its breath

driving the earth’s axis away from the sun.
