PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We’re in the shade now

So the sweat can’t sting 

Quite as much 

Like when we were in the sun

My oh my

How we fucking run

And the only thing that ever slowed us down

Was when our fun sat silent

I stare at you like monks in meditation

Patient 

Pious 

Prying into myself to understand 

If the shade grows cold 

I’ll hold you

Until the goosebumps ripple out

And the breathing becomes labor

I’ve done the math 

And the sum is something special

A number never thought possible 

But we can count on it
