The sparkling stars shine brightly
as a boy and girl
become a couple.
Eyes locked and refusing to blink
for fear of losing the moment.
This is the only kiss that
either will remember
after passionate flames fade.
Hours of driving bring a tired couple
to a confined conditioned hotel.
Burning beaches greet them
the next muggy morning.
Scorching soft skin to last til
the next round of escape.
This is their one day of summer.
Midnite rain pours as a forgotten
writer writes forgotten lines.
The scratching pen soothing mental pain.
Time screams as the poet escapes.
This is the only moment
that matters.

Yes! Evokes such memories that it's almost unbearable. You bring us full circle in the cycle of love. Complex, yet simple. Very good. Hoeftr

This is beautiful I love how each stanza builds ontop of the others one and flows smoothly into the message. This was amazing I loved it.

Thank you for entering.
The piece is very straightforward, but I can understand the emotion. I would have liked to see a bit more imagery -
but its all personal preference.
