A Summer Wish


Eyes wild, cheeks plump

Long Hair and dirty toes

Lips stained red

Juice trickles down, 

Each bead chasing the last 

Her chin streaked 

 

Sticky and full

Her eyes shine with laziness

And warmth

It reminds me of someone,

Someone I once knew well

 

I sit across from her entity 

The silence breaks

The illusion is shattered

My words riddle her

I am foreign, unknown

 

The earth has passed around 

The sun many times 

I have aged 

But she remains still

Untouchable to us

To me

 

Rememberance is key 

To forget is unrecognizable

Innocence unweathered 

Harmony resides in me 

She smiles unaware

From across the rickey table

And I 

I become all
