| Sweet Summer by John William Waterhouse Mag 225 |
The summer of innocence
just newly spoiled
celebrating your sexuality
before it must to be hidden inside
the diary.
The summer of sweet love
before you knew its curse
and he left you for another
less innocent
more ripe.
The summer of awakening
of knowing why it is forbidden fruit
which all to quickly spoils
like an improperly corked vintage
gone sour.
