A Warm, Sunny Afternoon
Lehua ©2002
A warm, sunny afternoon
Summer petals twirled down
Landing in our hair
| Stern rain strips the last leaves from the trees Preparing to punish |
A warm, sunny afternoon
We traded drinks
Becoming world class adventurers
| The last pelicans left three weeks ago Only I remain to huddle in the cold |
A warm, sunny afternoon
You touched my nose with your finger
I traced your lips with mine
| I searched today, drenched, for any flower There were none |
A warm, sunny afternoon
You told me you were mine and I was yours
And that we'd always be
| Winter came, and another And still I shiver here alone. |
