August rush

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Jul 17, 2014


As the sun begins to bathe me
in treasures of the earth,
i see your eyes evaporating
my soul,
cleansing me of past imperfections.

Soon,
September will awaken,
making way for the white queen
to banish natures colours,
sending darkness coursing through
the earth.

Your perfectly cut exterior laying
elegantly upon the tiny grains, as
silk bronze hair sleeps gently upon
a summers breeze.

Rush's of August captivates me, leading
towards the final breath, lets
embrace this moment before -
She opens her eyes.

    A captivating write! Its from the second stanza on
    ward that got me interested. I also like the mixture
    of season and month; each one having a character
    that can be identified with human nature. The
    description has elegance and beauty with vivid
    imagery. I enjoyed this gem!

    The Personification here is beautiful Tony! I am like wow....I love the when people take a certain month and relate it to a person or a love or anything other than the ACTUAL nature that month brings.

    The ending line was brilliant. Sometimes I read poems and work my way up to that awesome ending line and either 1. Dont want it to end or 2. Wish they ended it differently. But this was a beautiful ending sentence.

    Again like everyone has said the imagery is perfect. I love the description of laying upon tiny grains and the silk hair, that definitely captivated me.

    Beautiful write. Seems so different from your usual and I LOVE it.

    Wow, sorry I just got round to this, I forgot you said to check it out, and I kept forgetting!

    Great wording, really well laid out also.

    The love and longing in this poem is so happy to read, quite contented and relaxing. It is very enjoyable and you have great descriptions of creating imagery.

    However.... I am seriously going to start hitting you on the head if you don't capitalise your fecking I !!! Lol.

    Nice work and do like the title.

    Tony, it has been too long since I have read your work. WRITE MORE! :D

    I envision this whole scene as you and your love laying outside, in the grass, just wrapped up in each other and admiring the beauty of Summer, dreading a time when August rushes the new seasons of fall and winter. Soon, you won't be able to admire the sun shining down on your love because it will be hidden by the gloominess of winter.

    Beautiful poetry, mister!
