Summer by Paola Almonte
Your love feels like sunlight
All I’ve ever known was monsoons of mistreatment
Waves of reminders of my insignificance
But you never fail to show me how I shine
You illuminate the best parts of me
Your love makes me feel warm
Sometimes deliciously hot
Your love makes me glow
Baking in the warmth that is you
Your presence supplements my growth
With every atom of vitamins coming my way,
Without hesitation,
At the speed of light,
I’m in the summer of my life.
