Summer Love

by jescelle   Jun 2, 2011


Inside your kiss, I can't resist,
There's something in your smile.
Poking fun, the lake, the sun,
Sit, make me laugh awhile.

A bit of stubble, a look so subtle,
Lay down and give me chills.
Say it soft, cologne in wafts,
With you my hope refills.

Relax in candles, too much to handle,
How a man can be an ocean.
Fingers laced, your warm embrace,
Your eyes and lips; a potion.

Pillow talk, a downtown walk,
So quiet when your tired.
Dashboard lights, your jaw ignites,
Unexpected, intense desire.

The body of a Grecian God,
A wit not to be outmatched.
A curious mind, intrigued, defined,
Held my face and said "attached".

Kiss me with intent for once,
And come back in for more.
Dribble, dunk and stare at me,
Who won? I wasn't keeping score.

Still dizzy and so jittery,
I can't hide my open book.
You say I'm pretty in Vietnamese,
Exotic, line and hook.

Sing with me baby, country boy,
As loud as you possibly can.
While you grab my waist and hold me tight,
In your soft, amazing hands.

Hold my leg and make me weak,
I miss you when you're gone.
I long for your eyes when you look away,
But my memory has you drawn.

I love your laugh, so sweet, relaxed,
I'm lost in shadows of your dimples.
I rub your back, can't help the fact,
That with each other, life is simple.

You watch me when I walk away,
And turn when I look back.
The winters fading and hurts erasing,
The longer we walk this track.

We don't know where it leads,
But our days are forever etched.
Inside a kiss where we exist,
A million years, compressed.

Warmer than the sun we bathe in,
More real than the clouds above.
A pause in time, where I'll always find,
My wonderful summer love.

    Stanzas one through four had me hooked and then you changed your rhyming technique. Those first four are so AWESOME!! Wish you would rework it and keep the rhyme going. I enjoyed the write even with the "let-down". It would have been a 6.

    I felt like this was a beautifully wrapped present. With each line, you give a sweet reminiscence that won't leave your heart no matter what happens. The events, the imagery, the emotions that show such life here play a big part.

    I have to agree with Britt....the rhyming was easy flowing. It didn't have to be strictly schemed. You gave it freedom, and it felt natural and still neatly tied together.

    Profound emotion in few words. Something I can cherish in each line, remember.

    This one line stood out for me:

    "How a man can be an ocean."

    - The incredible thought of this....so much to a man, complex at heart, deep in mind. down to earth. overpowering.

    A wonderful story of summer love that can bring hope to many others who feel like they've lost that one.

    Great writing, please keep it up!

    This had a very catchy and effortless seeming flow. What I like most is the pure, raw emotion here. The simple joys and feelings of love that inside are so complex. You've told little stories that were all wrapped together in beautiful memories and the butterfly moments we love to have and share with others.

    I like your rhyme scheme. One or two of the rhymes seemed a tad forced, but I love how the rhyme wasn't consistent. You started about abab, but then it flowed into what felt more natural for (or so it seemed), and went into this incredible flow of end rhymes, internal rhyme etc. The inconsistency is what made the rhyme brilliant for me. It didn't become typical or dull, but different and refreshing. :) Wonderfully done!
