That heat drenched summer <br />Long passed now, <br />That summer <br />How we loved lying on the lazy sand. <br />Sun soaked, <br />Bodies close together <br />Love cloaked. <br />Searching the endless sky <br />With eyes <br />Filled with ecstasy. <br />Time stilled. <br />Hearing the siren sea <br />Calling us <br />From the long dune grass <br />Windquivering. <br />Standing in the midst of emptyness <br />Alone on the hushing strand <br />In utter carelessness. <br />Running, fingers clasped <br />Through eternity, <br />Over the barren beach <br />Completely free. <br />Soothing in the coolness of the sea <br />Spirits bruised by passion's <br />Fierce intensity. <br />Oh, how we loved that summer <br />Long passed now. <br />That summer how we loved.<br /><br />Mike Tonkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-1952/
