The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,

Sultry heat
A tad bit softened
But concrete is still burning
With rays of summer
Trees are getting ready
For autumn
A radical discoloration
A jaw-dropping
Transformation

Fresh tunes of new promises
A tiny buzz from loving smiles
And lo! The mutual melody
As hum by hum
Deeper you both fall
Until what we were
Is but an echo.

Little whispers that break...

Stars, sky - like a seductive sea,
I swear they tickle me,
And in them I see,

A haunting waltz, a silent scream.
A mask of smiles, a cloak of light
Just to convince them I'll be alright

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
