Summer's Eyes shine <br /> <br />sublimely <br /> <br />penetrating deep in ocean <br /> <br />mine <br /> <br />tattoos upon my consciousness <br /> <br />which Summer illuminates <br /> <br />but she, too, burns <br /> <br />from giving more heat <br /> <br />than I can withstand <br /> <br />a searing of my soul <br /> <br />I, am, the moth to her flame; <br /> <br />a supplicant <br /> <br />intoxicated by her Summerness <br /> <br />her Sherazade <br /> <br />her Red Burning Flower <br /> <br />her mere attention; <br /> <br />I chased her light <br /> <br />but was consumed by her heat <br /> <br />seared heart returning time and time again <br /> <br />to her cobalt inferno kiss.. <br /> <br />She was my incendiary addiction <br /> <br />from which I tried <br /> <br />time and time again to retire <br /> <br />from her and her fire <br /> <br />which attracted me so- <br /> <br />the lady with the red hair <br /> <br />and green eyes- <br /> <br />my Summer fix. <br /> <br />But now I look rather to <br /> <br />those with Spring's touch <br /> <br />No fault of Summer here <br /> <br />she was captured and bound inside her own lovely bloom, <br /> <br />but I had to recognize <br /> <br />in fact <br /> <br />I'm more at ease <br /> <br />with Spring's Empathies <br /> <br />than with fiery Summer flowerings. <br /> <br />The many chased after Summer's Heat <br /> <br />But now I know I am more suited <br /> <br />to relish Spring's offerings; <br /> <br />than Summer's Insouciance <br /> <br />rather than her too ripened, <br /> <br />too wise Summer flower <br /> <br />over-sure of its own beauty <br /> <br />oblivious of Moths and Flames.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-fire-2/
