grief-blue with regret and what should have been.
I thought me...

...Summer sweltered in her summer retreat -
Necking hot and heavy on the back seat. 
In the heat of the moment  
Summer’s passion did foment -
Lost her cherry in that moment of heat....

I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”

They sweltered in his car for eight hours
Twelve roses of red
Were nearly all dead

Premium MemberThe Least

...Beautiful the ugliness of scented sweat.
Resists the idea to flee. The least needs

whether this soul is of tares or weeds.

This dreadful beast is...

Premium MemberToo Much of a Good Thing

...We yearned for rain, for spring had been so dry.
We got wet one day. Would things get better?
The sun blazed so intensely in the sky.
Only in the park’s pool could we get wetter.
Then came the ti...

Pulls at our heart string
as greenery's hued in greener tinge
Having had an everlasting effect

...Sweater and knee socks in May
As around her
All present sweltered

damp browed assuring
She felt just fine 
In things unseasonably sheltered

Perfectly sun-kissed.
From a distance she could fit
In my hands.

Day, the name of the memory I placed 
her above all else.

...If you think July is bad,
Perhaps you have forgot.
There’s no relief in August.
It’s really just as hot.

Even if you like the heat,

I drifted down the city street,
Feeling tired and sore.
Nothing seemed to inspire me,
I walked with heavy feet.

I sweltered in the sultry heat,
Deafened by the ...

...The man planted and watered the garden,
like he did always in his weathered dungarees, as he told the girl

     no to a day down the shore...
The phlox and peonies thirsted for his touch, scr...

from life to there are maritime ripples.
Harrowing blades of rain
hammered from storm-clouds shatter puddles
of glass to rolling streams of echoes,
Misery’s tra...
