4) don't think i could put my tongue on it

251 47 36
                                    

don't think i could put my tongue on it

not even in the taste of a new year

still new to me, still in the fresh petals

freshly unfolded, but displaced and the sun

is golder the older it gets, glistening

through the leaves that listen for a song

that they'll only hear when they come to fall.  

sweet summertime will taste of salt

sea froth and look like blossoming coasts

above blue water, washing green on marble

youth eternal in spirit; could lose track of time

could cross paths from time to time, smile

forever while, like psychotropic island

where the birds are blue and i'm thinking of you --

just like a dream in the golden gleam.
