Warm in the summer
Like skies we were under
At night on the trunk of my car
Uncharted spaces
And strange constellations
Dance to a worn out guitar
Down to the clearing
Where ghosts circle softly
Tell us your stories
In wind-twisted rhyme
Wrapped up in covers
Like strange little monsters
I will steal your heart
If you will steal mine
Fragrance of rain
From the clouds rolling in
Hair down and hearts on our sleeves
we’ve been the storm
Since the day we were born
We come and we go with the breeze
Capture the moonlight
In love-thirsty silence
Hold it for ransom
In passionate stares
Pick out a star
And we’ll say that it’s ours
Then vanish at dawn
Like a vapor of air

i like this 😀
This is beautiful – I particularly like the third, fourth and sixth stanzas (love ‘strange little monsters) as well as the rhythm
Very nice, reminds me of when I was very young and ended up deep in
the country roads. I’ve never see so many stars in my life or since, and I’ve
been looking… 🙂
Thanks for the view and comment on my write here

Yes, there’s nowhere like the country for a night under the stars. I was thinking of a similar experience on a little dirt road out in the middle of a farm that I stopped at randomly on a trip once. Beautiful skies when you escape the city lights. Thanks for the comment!
Such a lovely, nostalgic poem – made me smile. And I just love those last 4 lines!

I really liked this paragraph:
“Down to the clearing
Where ghosts circle softly
Tell us your stories
In wind-twisted rhyme”
Keep your pencil sharpened! 🙂

I appreciate that, sir. A bittersweet flavor I’m sure, but I’m thankful to know I am not too terribly bland!
Oh yeah–love the ghosts, and star. Beautiful.
Thank you, my friend! 🙂
