You

Summer heat frog-leaps
under ginger-shadowed moon
My lips are on fire-

Posted for OpenLinkNight - D'verse poets Pub - Hosted by Anthony Desmond

Summer sky

is a halved peach,

swelling of sugar, red  

on your tongue, rain 

We keep watch of summer fireflies
Flitting of orange red
Dazzling of lights, a symphony
Cloaking night with silk threads 

       Let's stay

               under the stolen sky

            twining

As two seed pods, marking
Time a bandit, for come sunrise
All too soon, we're parting
