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.
