Lonestar Summers

LONESTAR SUMMERS

french kissing
in the mystical glow 
of the moonlight
after drinking
cherry wine
and dancing
all night on
the patio
of Ringo's Bar
 
skinny dipping
in the shady bayou
was the perfect
ending of a
long summer
night romance
 
in the badlands of
this Lonestar state
star smitten teenagers
shatter all of life’s rules
for a stab at love
when a full moon
hangs above	
on these dawning hours 
of their adult lives

taxing troubles
of this lonely world
will slither into their
existence soon enough

but for now their 
wild stallions
blazing through the
dusty oil fields
with only passion 
on their minds
