July 28

It's very hot
And my thoughts melt into the air
like HeAtWaVeS

I feel the Fire of my Foolishness
And the Pain of my Passions

I feel the very Sweat
as it Drips from my Soul

The Flame of all Desire is Raging
Consuming my time

As my heart Searches
for a Long Cool Drink

It is Suffocated in it's Endeavor

- originally penned July 28 1990 something
by a younger me

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/28/2016 9:10:00 PM I really like seeing your oldie poem here Chris. Gosh 1990 I was not even writing then, and I was so young and fresh like a daisy still!!!

Cheryl Hoffman Date: 7/28/2016 7:18:00 PM Very nice poem that I can so relate to Chris! (perspire, perspire, lol!) Login to Reply Chris Hagy Date: 7/30/2016 2:42:00 PM Thanks Cheryl:)...thought this was another good, HOT summer to post this!

Paul Callus Date: 7/28/2016 3:35:00 PM What a coincidence, Chris!! Today I wrote a light poem based on summer heat and the inability to quench thirst (for idiom contest); still to be posted. I find your poem delightful, and I wonder whether after 26 years you still "feel the fire of my Foolishness and the Pain of my Passions"!! Regards // paul Login to Reply Chris Hagy Date: 7/30/2016 2:38:00 PM I think we all have pain and regret, but at least 26 years later I am old enough to accept the past, live in the present, and look forward to the future:)...just thought this was the perfect summer to post!!
