Total Summer

Is it total summer now?
For no searing sunlight streams at me

Only a grumpy rain flecked breeze
Slapping my face
Repressing expectations

Is it total summer now?
With love lost and left
Guttered leaves leaping to an early death
In anticipation the sun is done.

Is it total summer now?
As dreams slip below the horizon
Ushered by clouds to finality.

Tumbling to the darkness
We hope against hope.

This is quite brilliant. The imagery juxtaposed with the feeling works so well.

" Only a grumpy rain flecked breeze
Slapping my face
Repressing expectations "

The true story written of summer; that it always seems to break our spirits with hopes never gained

Love this poem*
