Summer Heat
A sultry summer heat hangs in the air;
July’s hot sun now takes her final bow.
Across the bar the sparks fly ‘tween the pair
as searching eyes are seeking to avow
the longing heat that burns so deep within
and causes summer passions to combust
with deep demands for taste of carnal sin
while seeking to dispel desires for lust.
Together leaving lost so deep in thought
while knowing well this tryst should never be
yet longing to fulfill what lust has wrought
and douse the burning flames of sin’s decree.
Illicit love leaves promises deplete
a substrate of the sultry summer heat.
