Summerku

Smooth and creamy swirls

Enticed by the biting cold

Ice cream in summer

~~~

Giddy, the girl ran

To her papa, arms outstretched.

Hoisted in the air

~~~

Blazing ball of sun

A cloud brings forth a vain hope

But rolls further on

It Wasn't Then, Was It?

It wasn't then, was it?

That he knew. It was always

That he had loved her.

~~~

It wasn't then, was it?

That he surrendered himself.

He was always hers.

~~~

It wasn't then, was it?

Sitting there, at her bedside,

In the hospital,

When the tears watered his cheeks,

That he would give up on her.
