swept away
Long, top-down drives—
wind threading through tangled hair,
shirtless-tans baked golden,
arms stretched into a sunlit sky.
Sweet strawberry-kisses linger,
juice dripping from fingertips,
glorious watermelon stains
sprawled across lazy laughter.
Laughter spirals, lifting through trees,
woven with glimpses of sun-blest promises.
Sugar-coated whispers scatter,
catching on the breeze like unspoken secrets.
Fruit bowls gleam with vibrant hues,
waterholes shimmer like liquid crystal,
refreshing icy poles melting too fast
in summer’s relentless glow.
Fingers interlace—
gripping the weightlessness of starry nights,
the drowsy embrace of lazy days,
moments expanding, time slipping.
