lonely canicular days hot
temperatures sunny weather
midsummer picnic days outage
lemon aide, potato salad
mosquitoes, ticks, flies all over
canicular summer solstice
soon in few weeks shall be autumn;

in time , time will tell me all the secrets that our voices could never explain.
in time we will walk in different shoes, try on different clothes, observing growth as a wardrobe because life is destined for change.
in a fantasy I would shake the hands of a clock for showing me how to embrace my patience.
in time musical chairs will cease all unknown faces thanks to the process of elimination.
when the music stops will she be the one to sit by my side?
was once a game of hide& go seek . salted footprints lead to darkened corners from the tears that I hide.
sunsets down on picnic days .
hold her hands, kiss her lips , expressing the way I feel needing no words to explain.
not knowing time was all I needed to make my mistakes , take heed to all complaints ,plant my seeds and grow into a better man.
because of time I now know how to speak, how to care, how to show, and in time hopefully she will understand..... mushiness. lol.
