Summers Heat

`

Exhaled sonnets call torrid on the eve Breaths a lofty soar, luring thirsted sighs Moistened drizzled flesh, sunset’s searing weave Motions play beneath tropic amber skies Lips of dampened dreams, meeting by the shore Moonbeams touch your face, eyes of heaven’s glow Whispers echo soft, melting ever pure Fingers tracing curves, passions endless flow Lulled as blushing waves drench our longing skin Stardust wishes cast, lingering above Promised minutes sing, harmonies begin As we lie alone, deep within our love Moans collect the wind, endings come to meet Lost within the tide, summer’s sultry heat

Congratulations on your top spot Chris! This is gorgeous and it reminds me of an artist called Chris who had given his voice for a song invoking similar emotions :)
