During A Monsoon Summer

During a monsoon summer I welcomed your sunshine Your yellow wavy hair and blue eyes That transient sun shining gold It was all I could do to swim back to you. Like a fly on a windscreen I was beyond living But my heart kept on beating And my wings kept visiting public bars But I couldn't stop spinning and seeing stars. I was transfixed-by-those sequins- Around your hips. And the way the wind swung in the treetops Like the tails of koi fish Guess - I couldn't walk away. Not when swimming was the only way. During a monsoon summer Not while you were in charge of the driving Not while you were the wilder one And I was spent going to seed feeling alone.
