Summer’s Last Day

HomePoetrySummer's Last Day
Summary:
I wrote this for my late ex-wife who walked on last year. We got divorced in 2018, just one of those things, but I still like this one about much happier times during our 12 years together.

The sky is all full
of those marshmallow clouds
and I feel young again
as I’m dodging these crowds,
the week’s winding down
(as the Summer is, too)
and I hardly can wait
to fly back home to you.

If you grab a blanket
I’ll grab my guitar,
we can both get away
(we don’t have to go far);
we can climb through those hills
just south of town,
there’ll be just you and me
with no one else around.

Sunshine floods earth
as we find the right place,
brush the hair from your eyes,
hold you in my embrace,
and I play you a song
of the joys that love brings,
and we listen and act on
the song nature sings…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But it’s raining and dark
pulling up the driveway,
set my fantasy down
for a sunnier day,
and I open the door,
and the place is a mess,
and the girls are SCREAMING,
and I’m SO filled with stress!!

Then I see your blue eyes,
and I don’t want to roam;
I have green covered hills
whenever I’m home,
as you smile that smile
all I feel is sunshine…
I have all I could want
all because you are mine.

      • Thank you, Damian. I wrote this in 2013 and just came across it unpacking (still unpacked eight years later) in a card I wrote for her. With her passed on and all I let go of any bad feelings, but I just felt a sort of neutrality (?) inside, like she was a total stranger to me, never thinking about her at all. But this poem, ahhh, it reminded me of how utterly madly in love we were once, and that feels pretty darn good.
