and light that begged
a second glance,
touched the receptors
in my brain,
and for a moment
all life stopped,
as sense of now
I did retain.
New light then beckoned
me come see,
the lost opportunity
as hands unclasp,
when dark clouds
overhead dispersed;
the answer now
within my grasp.
Dear light that said
‘this your last chance;
leave your old world
where wild nymphs dance.
and see the future
through clear eyes;
abandon dreams
that mesmerize’.
Oh heat of the day
that calls to me,
to stay indoors
and let sense run free.
Oh heat of the day
that saps my strength;
A walk, but a dawdle;
a run, not at any length.
Oh heat of the day,
when pavements cracking.
The sea not for swimming,
now there’s talk of fracking!
Oh heat of the day;
you complex tool.
I’m begging for storm clouds,
just to stay cool.
Oh heat of the day
if I knew your plan,
preparation I’d make;
your mind I would scan.
Oh heat of the day,
no compassion you show.
My system water-logged;
my energy low.
Oh heat of the day,
I longed for last Fall,
when snow, inches thick,
with high drifts, I recall.
Oh heat of the day;
inside I’m now dwelling,
with fans working overtime,
and both ankles swelling.
Oh heat of the day,
go back, from where you came,
before my last breathe is gone;
I’m so sorry, it’s a shame.
Oh heat of the day,
I thought you and I,
could sit side by side,
but I was wrong, so goodbye.
Oh heat of the day,
a cold shower I’m taking.
You’ve outstayed your welcome;
my body’s half baking.
Oh heat of the day,
come back sometime soon,
but do me a favour,
and clear-off by noon.
