Left home a little too early today, the darkness and memories inspired this
When the days are like today
January in August,
The bleak, grey sky choked with clouds. Pavements empty. Cold, defeated holiday children huddled at bus stops. Mist running in relentless torrents of breath, Deserted, long abandoned al fresco tables.
Headlights on in the morning.
Dismal dogs trailing on their leads. Mothers with covered babies and gritted teeth. The constant sad swish of weary yawns.
When the days are like today
I need you
to reach out and touch me
I need you
to share my coat
I need you
to be my summer.
Lovely
