I'm craving summer something fierce.


summer fling


he's just a boy who fell in love with summer

but he's also an evil, cruel, wizened old man - cold, unforgiving

he's icy and murdering and he fell in love with the fine-boned summer

summer, who laughed and sparkled

summer, who was warm and rushing and flitting

summer, who was a fairy or a firefly

summer, who was fragile and vulnerable and always left

summer, who never stayed

he's winter, that cruel, harsh murdering iceman

he stayed, he stays, he always does

he fell in love with summer and he choked her between his icy claws

he dripped forgotten toys and lost scarves and cold water on her,

summer, who could always forgive him for killing her

summer, who was fine-boned and perfect

summer, who was warm

he's winter, freezing, unthawing

he stole her away, he stole summer away

he offered her a pomegranate and hoped she'd stay

but he didn't know, no, he didn't know

he didn't know that summer, that elusive temptress,

he didn't know that summer would be poisoned and tainted

by his rains and fogs and looming disaster

summer, who was beautiful

summer, who was warm

summer, who he fell in love with

he's just a boy, a silly, cold little boy, who fell in love with summer

summer, who never stays

he's just a boy who lives to chase summer.
