I remember that one day out of the winter of my mind a summer wind blows in and spun me so I melted apart into the spring for me to remember

And the days I have been in hibernation for so long with eyes closed and heart frozen have melted away into great lush gardens 

But too much heat and I am burned and swollen into a mess of sweat and blood, but burn me more you hot summer winds of July and June.

Cauterize my very essence, stop the bleeding so I can breathe again, Breath into me and out again I beg of you.

Bring me another summer night and stir me up one more time before you go again from my soul and I lose my heat and fire,

My mind is a flame that never wants to go out but it can’t help it if the fuel ships off to strange shores that fires cannot go on, You know as much as I what waters can do to a fire like this,

it would steam up and go float into the air to be with the clouds and sun, dissipating into thin air no more a fire but everywhere for the world to sip up into their lungs,

I do not want to share this with anyone. I am a selfish child and with this greed in my heart I want only this to be mine and mine alone, not you, not this, just the heat, the feeling of the flames.

I want to remember that day I looked into eyes so bright and stunning that my kindling was set into roundabout blazes that lit up the room with at first a soft glow than a shine so blinding that the sun was put to shame.

What does one make of that kind of day where all the world just shines apart into light?

I’ll keep chasing that sun and craving all that it has in its rays, as far as it may go across the horizon I case the moon beams and star lights that aluminate the night while the sun plays on the other side of the globe.

 The eternal summers and endless nights, till dawn, and I see you again
