Summer Camp

By jackpot421

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

There was a day as such, had blanket frills to wrap around.The sun slipped its way down and didn’t communicate much.Just took a sip or two, let him hold her hand to be warmSo he felt no alarm, yet her heart was frozen through,As he knew before he built the fire. Began a cigarette and a gazeBeyond nicotine haze, behind ordinary desire.The smell of summer breezes mixed with nerves of winterOn its way to deliver tears for a change of seasons.She was going alone, dreams that waited in the sky.His shadow began to rise, feeling far away from home.All he had left that night, all given just to be closerFor one more naive kiss, although he never could feel rightOnce it was over. Every burning ember that would be missed.I tried to use a strict syllable per line and rhyme scheme on this expierement. came out a bit strange to read, but not too bad all things considered. i was going for an awkward feeling anyway.
