We had met
in the middle
of summer
amid a heat
that had nothing
to do with the
weather
and everything
to do with
attraction.
As the summer
stretched out
the rain dried
out
and the sun
shed light.
Everything was
so bright,
so vivid, the
joy of freedom
momentous.
Circling each
other like
nectar draws
hummingbirds,
the path almost
undetectable,
frolicking
carelessly;
We were
iridescent*,
absorbing our
color from each other.
*Hummingbirds are iridescent, reflecting colors around them like a bubble floating in air.
Oh I love this! Nice beat to it.
ReplyDelete"We were iridescent" this is a nice line because it is a pretty word, and it hums energy just like a hummingbird, and describes a nice ethereal feeling.
