A Summer I Will Not Forget

He was beautiful.
Eyes as blue as the ocean.
All crystal and clear
Waves swallowing me whole, drowning me, and dragging my body down to the trenches.
A smile so pure and pearly
You were surely blinded by his beauty.
He was the epitome of a Southern California summer dream.
Skin the color of sand but soft as the salty breeze of his breath against my neck.
Hair golden like the sun on a clear day.
All warmth and laughter.
Only I wasn't all warmth and laughter.
I was a stormy day in Seattle.
Muddy irises with a halo of grey rainy day clouds.
Raven ringlets, an omen from Satan himself.
I was the epitome of a winter wonderland in a reversed universe where people who cared didn't matter and those who mattered didn't care. You see,
We're all made of matter.
The divine cherub boy made of matter from the ocean in a sort of spiritual way.
The nymph from hell made up of grey skies and drops of sorrow wept by the gods, all in a sort of literal yet metaphysical way.
We're all made of matter.
Flesh and blood physically.
But soulfully different.
Oh so soulfully different
And beautiful too.
I wish to be like this angelic boy
With ocean eyes and rays of light spurring from his scalp...
Spiritually of course.
So calm and collected.
Stoic, if you will but hey!
Even the sea gets a little choppy and the tide rises.
And maybe there is a certain calmness before a storm but when that storm hits there is not stopping it.
He was so beautiful and still is so beautiful.
But I guess Seattle just wasn't home for him.
And maybe that's why he left for Arizona
The serpent girl had nothing to offer this heavenly boy but herself, and even then that wasn't much or not enough.
It's all the same.
We're all made of matter.
His heart was just as dry as the Arizona desert
Even though the blue in his eyes comes from the Dana Point Harbor.
He'll always be a Southern California summer dream.
And I'll always be me.
Me...
A Seattle rainy day me.
A hopelessly and mistakenly in love me.
He was the most beautiful and gentle summer that I have ever had.
And I will always cherish those memories.
