Summer Haze (Just a "vent")

Still hangs the haze of summer
effective in its need
to shimmer love’s energy
into my everyday.
and I lean, but the real,
delicately entwined
in my heart of memories,
distant and aloof
like the roof of my potential
alone unreachable.

I still have roses growing
and flowers of denial
in the clarity of now
but the view undesired
hurtful to belief
in the promise of time
to clear a hazy mind.

I sip at carefree living
like the thirsty from a river
contaminated, murky,
and plain and simply “dirty”
in the need to dissipate
reliance on the prophet
in the pit of my soul.

From song to silence,
undecided,
love’s emotion spins avowals
then retreats into the wilderness
behind this summer haze
distracted by reactions
to nightmarish dreams
foretelling continuity
of perpetual fear.

I’m rolling, rolling, rolling,
the hill too steep I fall
into the consternation
of not ever knowing all
until this deadly summer haze
perhaps becomes the breath
of my untimely death!

It's when we think we "vent" that truth flows undisturbed ... and your truth here is just beautiful!
