Summer Blues

Perfect

in my sandled shoes

I sing a sad song-

summer blues

we fan the flames

of the last bonfire

we sing our slow goodbyes

at summer's pyer                      

Sleep will not come

as we dine at the wake

lamenting the long lost sun

 

As our bodies intertwine

I listen to your heart sounds

Lulled by the beat

and California wine
