The last rose of summer

We lay among the wide open spaces
as the air trickles a tickle
across our skin while flirting
with the warm soothing sand beneath us.

We watch the sunset
fade now into time
as if the last rose of summer
melted its beauty into beauty
dripping its petals upon
a sea of endless Tokyo blue.

The night rises becoming our carnival
stars are the lights twinkling
calling our hearts to a distant midway
where are hearts are forever free to roam
wide eyed with fresh cotton candy souls
while the waves spin deep fried
ooh's and  ah's scuffling along the shore
like a phantom crowd forever laughing.

The moon arrives as I steal a kiss
from this love that loves
to calls me home
and it smiles upon us, gently.
As it to dreams the dreams
we dare to dream
within our hearts
that fly away
on the petals
of roses bloomed
that last summer day.

    This is a beautifully written poetic piece. Well done and thanks for entering. There is a couple of typos..where are hearts, think you meant our...love that loves to calls me home, think you meant call. Very nice write!! Good luck. You also forgot to put your favorite song and the singer..one of the rules

    WONDERFULY DONE!!! You have done a terrific job on this piece. I really loved the images of your words as they were very descriptive.

    We watch the sunset
    fade now into time
    as if the last rose of summer
    melted its beauty into beauty
    dripping its petals upon
    a sea of endless Tokyo blue.

    These seemed to do it for me. I have never heard the sky described as Tokeyo blue. Great work. Good luck in the contest.

    Wow! Truly beautiful and mesmerizing in it's flow. Love is so divine, when returned in kind, sorry got a little poetic there. Well done, my friend. You are a great poet. I think it is a typo on the seventh to the last line "As it to dreams the dreams..." Maybe As if to dream the dreams, not sure. Great job.
