fireflies flicker reflect in the depths of your brown eyes

Relishing the cool sweet breeze I hold your hand

seeing the curl of your lips, your arm wrapping around my shoulders

I smile

Near the flash of the ceremonial tiki torch

we celebrate being able to watch the day die out

The trees dark and foreboding shadows in the distant shores of night

That doesn’t bother anyone as we begin to drink in with

Dark eyes flicker and dance,

The fireflies flit and flash in dusk’s escaping light

Summer nights melt and float their way

Its becoming harder to compose

An simple farewell

As the day drifts to a close.

Although it races faster, we choose not to meet it

Cuddling into one another as we watch the colors seeping

leaning my head onto your shoulder

there's no where else I would want to be on a midsummer's night
