new summer love
Posted: May 21st, 2015, 7:37 pm
I'm still here darlin' girl
buried deep inside your rib cage
when you close the pine lid
it doesn't end there, it begins anew
the flowers from your mother's garden are nice
the photos too, but it's not what I wanted
a few more moments for my hand to linger
on your thigh, stare into bottomless green eyes
deep as the quarry at the end of falcon road
where we swung on an old thick rope
to the center of the pond and with precision
released our grips and plunged like volcanic rock
entangled as one into the icy water
where we popped to the top laughing and aroused
lips locked in the passion stoked by the fires
of a new summer love, but alas
I cannot touch you today with my physical parts
only my transplanted soul
buried deep inside your rib cage
when you close the pine lid
it doesn't end there, it begins anew
the flowers from your mother's garden are nice
the photos too, but it's not what I wanted
a few more moments for my hand to linger
on your thigh, stare into bottomless green eyes
deep as the quarry at the end of falcon road
where we swung on an old thick rope
to the center of the pond and with precision
released our grips and plunged like volcanic rock
entangled as one into the icy water
where we popped to the top laughing and aroused
lips locked in the passion stoked by the fires
of a new summer love, but alas
I cannot touch you today with my physical parts
only my transplanted soul
