Fragments of a Season

The taste of summer dances on my tongue

A mix of heady flavours creating memories

Of days spent frolicking and having fun

Stored forever in my personal treasury

The strawberries and cream eaten on the lawn

With nothing to do but enjoy the present moment

Drinking sparkling wine on the beach until dawn

Watching the fireflies in an intricate waltz

The barbecued chicken and salty halloumi cheese

Sizzling sausages and burgers on long summer Sundays

The doctor said it was stage three and aggressive

When clouds drift above in the gentle summer breeze

I know I will cherish these days always

The endless nights and days full of love

sad poetry
