Poem Title:
Poem
To me , Loving you was like That one warm august day The one forever imprinted in your brain. When your parents finally Let you chase down the ice cream truck The 5 dollar bill burning in your pocket Impatiently waiting to choose which flavour you want After weeks and weeks of hearing it’s songs Only to be told you’ve had enough treats Watching all the other kids Sticky sherbet and chocolate dripping from their mouths Barely taking breathes between each lick Unable to fully beat the summer heat But they didn’t care Oh how I wish it was me I would give anything to taste the frozen treat I craved the piercing ice on my tongue To feel it melt within my mouth as my throat made it liquify My body’s internal temperature evaporating all it used to be Flowing thru my body like a river Feeling it in all my tissues and cells Every part of me All summer long I sat there wishing it could be me Wondering what it would be like dreaming so desperately Then the second last day of summer I heard the familiar jingles driving by Only to turn around to my mother Emptying her wallet out Finally it was my turn I got to satisfy my craving I got to feel you flood my body like a river Even if it were only once You’ll always be my august day The sweet childhood memories I cherish so deep
