Lonestar Summers
LONESTAR SUMMERS
french kissing
in the mystical glow
of the moonlight
after drinking
cherry wine
and dancing
all night on
the patio
of Ringo's Bar
skinny dipping
in the shady bayou
was the perfect
ending of a
long summer
night romance
in the badlands of
this Lonestar state
star smitten teenagers
shatter all of life’s rules
for a stab at love
when a full moon
hangs above
on these dawning hours
of their adult lives
taxing troubles
of this lonely world
will slither into their
existence soon enough
but for now their
wild stallions
blazing through the
dusty oil fields
with only passion
on their minds
