Summer Of Twenty-Two

Same time last summer 

Why was it a bummer 

You had a deep need

That I could never feed.

When you said goodbye

Rivers of tears I cried

When I realized you didn’t care

I relearned that life isn’t fair.

I put it all on the table 

But your love was a fable

Painfully knowing all too late 

That to you I wasn’t great.

The passions we shared

Were beyond compare

Yet you took another lover

Your lies were uncovered. 

Not my lover not my friend 

Didn’t have my back in the end

It’d be easy to hope for hell 

But in the end I wish you well.

Seasons Unique 

Springtime everything’s alive 

Green teaming with such life

Longer days promised.

Summer’s endless adventures

Vacations reunions cruises, time off

Beaches deserts mountains.

Falls cooling breezes

Promises of winter goodbye heat

Hello pumpkin spice.

Winter had arrived

Rainer cooler days, longer nights

Holidays and birthdays.

Four seasons yearly

Each with its own personality

And quite unique…

Seasons 

Season of rain 

Ushers in pain.

Seasons of sun 

Bring about fun.

Seasons of cold 

Blankets are sold.

Season of fire 

Fulfilling desire.

Season of heat 

Radiated street.

Season of breeze 

Swiftly moving trees.

Seasons of spring 

Bluebirds sing.

Season of fear

Will life endear?

Season of summer

Never a bummer.

Seasons of love 

Peace of doves.

Season of salt 

Dinner’s gestalt.

Season of fall 

Halloween and all.

Season of pepper 

Sneezing forever.

Season of hate

Political debate.

Season of winter 

Frost, crack, splinter.

Seasons renewed

No year, subdued.

Seasons do end 

Let’s not pretend…

Summer Relief

Day is hot

Grab some cool

Some relief

In a pool.

Heat goes up

Much higher

Anymore

Then on fire.

AC on

Cooler air

Refreshment

We’re aware.

Frosty drinks

Filled with ice

And some rum

Would be nice.

Umbrella

In my glass

Tropical

Drinks at last.

Sun’s ablaze

Till it sets

Then cooler

A safe bet.

Until then

Do your best

Beat the heat

Pass the test…
