Sweet summer boy
golden blazen prince
boy has never tasted frozen air
wrap me in your warmth
helpless skeleton fingers, too cold to hold on
I see you
Spirit brimming from those bright eyes
wanting with everything
to breathe in life itself
the rhythm of the afternoons and the color of heartbreak
soft lips brush my blistered cheeks
boy has never touched a storm
a crescendo hurricane caught your heels while crashing ashore
I know that your are scared
chaos wracks your golden landscape
wave after wave
threaten those deep gilded eyes
Sweet summer boy
rosy cheeks turn frigid and white, life worn thin
you surrender
You shine in the sun, under honey rays of morning light dripping to butterscotch sunsets
I watch you run away
but remember in life
the downpour will come sweet boy, the cold will splinter your strength
and when you fall and break open
I will be there to bear the cold next to you
