Summer Writing

This is going to be a bit different to my normal content but see if you like it here's some writing that I did about summer, if you like this sort of thing I can post some of my other writing on here that I normally just keep hidden in a sketchbook.

Summer comes with a promise, it provides hope and happiness you try to fool yourself that it will last forever, the sky turns into a paradise cocktail with black silhouettes that look like a Hollywood backdrop we play like children and fall in love under the sun and stars. The colours of the sea blend into the sky though the motion of the clock handles as we watch the sun kiss the horizon goodnight until dawn. Souls dance upon the sand as the wind glides around sun-kissed bodies, harmonies blend into the atmosphere as minds become lost then found again. The blazing summer days catch all the pixies of youth in bottles as folks sip them away rapidly in fear of losing time from their future years, pleasant pills with fruit flavoured liquors are harboured nightly as satin soft hair flows past fingertips, cotton that drifts past legs hold a physical reminiscence when memory wakes. Broken hearts are banished to winter as the rainbow sky fools cynics and lovers alike to falling under it's spell and dreams live on past waking eyes as loved ones reunite to share beautiful times that will live on past polaroid pictures. The warm golden glow hangs around you like an aura until the sky disappears beneath a midnight blanket and you're left wishing on stars again. 

Sun-kissed fools who sway in the heat, tripping in the sand, falling into arms and catching hearts in the whimsical sunset of summer.
