When Summer is Gone

Contest: When Summer is Gone Sponsor: Jcb Brul 1st Place. "Was it the iris in your heart or was it the whale in my soul? I thought we were meant to be." ~ the poet balmy winds stroke my cheeks soft hands and calloused fingertips dance their way around my face tired eyes flutter shut. I feel waves of oceans with steady currents a brilliant sun and lemon sand key lime moss adorning an unbounded shoreline reflected in coconut pupils, they are just for you and just for me when summer is gone, your touch will not fade I am the sculpture you pressed life into the vacant canvas you dyed mulberry blue though your breaths might, that love will not falter and to the young girl who fell asleep counting the stars in your tears, there will always be an us always... be an us.
