Summer's Edge

Poem Commentary

I wrote this after coming home from my boyfriend's house.

Summer's Edge

He’s warm,

Like a good hangover.

His heart pulses like raging thunder.

My mind develops, pupils widening.

His song envelopes my heart,

Like steam rising off a misty river.

Lilly pads pop against a still, gray surface.

Harmonicas and violins string out our love,

Like summer Christmas lights.

My senses race like a graffiti-sprayed train.

Carpet against skin,

He’s alive, and so am I.

Burning together,

In the inferno of our love.

Tying our imperfections together,

As if they were part of a denim quilt.

Dusty air, like an antique store,

We bask in each others company.

Waiting for summer.

very nice, obviously you had a very good time at your boyfriends house! I like how you use of methapors and oxymorons to describe that experience in a poem.

Thank you so much. I like this poem too. Normally, I don't write so mysteriously. But I like it. It's fun. :)

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
