Just Past Summer
It was a time you let go
And caught the wind
Absent a rudder to slice your way through
Just Past Summer,
You let go of wondering how to Love,
You did.
Colors
Blended into one voice
Truth
Beating swiftly
Like cream does to butter.
Just Past Summer,
A fire as big as a sunset
Was started,
Using all the dried up dreams
And the gutter remains.
Rich you said,
Smell the smoke,
Sacred release.
The ashes you spread out like a table
Serving doubt and loneliness
Featuring a cold vichyssoise that had
A hint of Hope.
This hint you said,
Will complement the rest,
Fear not.
Dessert was three layers of
Rich longing,
Covered with a double dark
Butter cream of Love.
Always Love
You said…
Then off you went,
To catch the boat with no rudder,
On a warm Chinook breeze
That took you to
Just Past Summer.
Just Past Summer
A fire as big as a sunset
Was started,
Using all the dried up dreams
And the gutter remains.

Very lovely writing Lina. Just filled deep growth, sentiment, and profound understanding about the nature of change. Your imagery is exquisite!
A fire as big as a sunset
Was started,
Using all the dried up dreams
And the gutter remains.
The ashes you spread out like a table
Serving doubt and loneliness
Featuring a cold vichyssoise that had
A hint of Hope.
I really don’t understand photography, but poetry as perfect as this always gets my attention. Brilliant Stuff!

So sensual Lina, so delisiously sexsy, so reflective…
I wonder If I will be able ones to see you in LOVE in my lifetime,
I gess you can burn rocks into dust with your all mighty power
Not only male body, mind, heart and spirit…
