The Summer Queen woke up one morning
Her Summer King no longer there
The Summer Queen stepped out of her bed to search for her summer lover
She walked through empty hallways
In their house the color of fire
Opening white doors
Questioning red servants
Asking, with blue feelings, the royal siblings
Where her lover had disappeared
The Summer Queen stepped into her summer garden terribly unhappy
Although her garden boasted with everlasting summertime splendor
Her King was absent
Her morning was crumbling
Her crown was wrecked
There's no one here
And the Summer Queen was most upset
Because of all the days, the King could have chosen to be gone
He chose the Independence day of their kingdom
Which simultaneously was the Summer Royalty's anniversary
The Summer Queen wept and her once chestnut brown hair turned raven black
Her eyes that shine so lovely in the summer sun turned winter blue
Her wonderful golden tan turned pale white
A color as solemn as the moon
She cried a storm, poisoning all the summer bloom.
The Summer King rode his horse through his merry Kingdom,
The Kingdom of Summer Love, Pingdom
It is simultaneously the land of the finest penguins.
He visited them daily
Those swaddling creatures
Dressed in tuxedoes
Swimming in cold rivers, streams, lakes
Eating the best fish
He was very much like them, the Summer King,
His wife, The Summer Queen, enjoyed his penguiness
But he never imagined she would love him more because of it
He feared that she would love him less.
Along his way home, the Summer King found a little girl
She was not a Summerite, for she had the Autumn Kingdom's crown
It was the Summer Queen's cousin, the Princess Everserene
She presented him with a guitar, and told him to replace his violin with it
The King asked, "Why?"
"It's your Kingdom and your anniversaries," she narrowed her eyes at him, "Oh have you forgotten?"
Indeed, the Summer King had forgotten
He accepted Everserene's gift and raced his horse back to the Diamond Palace
As the Summer King approached the palace,
He noticed the summer green, turned summer brown
And the sun was fiercer than ever
There were summer children, parents, grandparents
Summer creatures, lovers, plants
Burning or already dead under the extremely hot sun
The summer king removed most of his clothes, and left his horse as he sweated to the palace
He found his Queen, eventually, locked in the blazing heat of the Summer Gardens
She was weeping;
Weeping angry tears;
Weeping that he had foolishly forgotten their anniversary
The Summer King came up to the Summer Queen
And kissed her on her scorching wet pale cheek
The Summer Queen looked up, and he saw her eyes were icy blue
The Summer King kissed her some more, enveloping her in his Summer heat.
She grew furious throwing him out of her sight.
The Summer King's worst fears had come to life.
The Sumer Queen disliked him
Hated him
Wanted him dead
The Summer King was disappointed
Disappointed that he let his fair queen down
Then he remembered the Autumn guitar, and pulled it out
He played a song
Not just any song
Their song
Their love song
And the Summer Queen melted down onto the floor
Listening to her guitar's song
Song played by her husband
A song they made out of love.
The Summer King played their song,
The Summer leaves whistling along
The summer trees, creatures, all the species
Lifted back from their graves and decorated the marvelous gardens
The Queen's dark looks were replaced by her real looks, including her most tantalizing expression
The Summer Queen flashed her straight and sweet summer teeth at the Summer King
And with a voice that sounds as delicious as honey
The Summer Queen sang their Summer love song.
Red, White, Blue
Green, Pink, Orange
Purple, Magenta, Scarlet,
Yellow, Green, Indigo
Flashed in the sky on the fourth of July
As the Summer King and Summer Queen lay side by side
Under the stars
Surrounded by other unimportant people
Surrounded by uplifting dreams
They had their loving hands on each other
Perfectly in harmony.
The two American teen royalties
stared at the sky
Imagining the countless possibilities
