Love Poem: Summer

Summer

I swear to the summer-
I am a well-aged drummer...

Like liver and pee's,

like grease on the tree's,

like sweet tarts and tea.

I swear to the summer-
I am a well-aged drummer...

Like listeners without runners,

like dangerous men without gunners-

don't be naked just be funner,

don't be jaded just act like your comin',


I swear to the summer-
I need no real number,

I swear to your comin'-
I love the leader and all the wanderer,

and the fisherman,

and the ponderer,

and the drinker,

and the blunderer.


I swear to the summer,
I am a well aged drummer,

I can take away your lumber,

and burn it like a hunter-

I can turn it into something,
that I saw in the light of the reflection,

I can see you dance well in the mist,
of nature's best kiss,

and resist when you need the fist,

and reminisce,

even though I am just a man,

and I have never felt the mix.


Like a tall building that hasn't been built yet,

like an animal that hasn't been born yet,

like man with his child,

like women with her mild-

life has a style,

you have it
and you fill,

in the mind-
and the child...

Just to say it again
you have been the smile,

and your love makes me wild-

and your hugs hold for miles,

and your fun takes the pile,

and even though you're gone now I can stay for a while,

and sway in the reef when the tide lifts me,

and feel the knees when I become weak,

and be too much when too much hits me-

and sleep when god reads me...
