Simmer

The simmer of a summer sky by favor of the golden sun Invites my mind to seek and play such memories of summer fun Recalling lust of days gone by for sands of youth on beaches fair Still tickles toes as oceans spray and salted breezes dance on air For tantalizing tan-lined skin all copper toned in glistened glow I further reach inside my thought remembering, my senses flow The simmer of such sanguine spin on summer reverie in heat Still scorches as my brain is caught and summer’s sandals burn my feet

Basking in summer sun, inhaling salted air, being tickled by ocean spray, all are fondling memories of summer fun. Beautifully written in perfect rhyme and with great flow, dear friend.
