Oh, summer’s heat, <br />In my life it lit; <br />In the mind aims to penetrate, <br />This moment’s flame, how I hate. <br /> <br /> <br />Oppressing heat seems eternal, <br />Breeze that’s cool is but ephemeral; <br />Sultry nights embrace you so tight, <br />Blinding you in the magic shards of light. <br /> <br /> <br />Hell is the summer’s day, <br />With the sun’s burning ray; <br />It destroys thy once magnificent lea, <br />And turns to mud the beatific sea. <br /> <br /> <br />Oh, summer’s heat, <br />Wane the aches just a bit; <br />The puissant heat, wind can’t abate, <br />This moment’s flame, how I utterly hate.<br /><br />Geraldine Fernandez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-s-heat-summer-s-hate/
