Some short poems on Summer and Summer heat

Indian summer

The heat rises in shimmering waves
And crashes upon itself
While we seek momentary circles of relief
Under the whirring ceiling fans,that spread the hot air around
Under the shade of cool, spreading trees wilting in the sun's wrath,
In the closed AC rooms, cars , restaurants , cooled malls,
While the green raw mangoes, ripen to golden sweetness
To mimic the blazing sun,
As the summer heat, has just begun its climb to its crescendo.

Summer woes

Sun burns unrelenting in the heavens,
Under which the baked earth, browns, rusts and in places ,is broken,
Mocks the plight of the burning, sweating populace
Mistake it seems to step out under his unflinching gaze,
Every thing seems to burn in his embrace,
Rains, as a relief,are awaited eagerly, the summer heat to erase,
Summer, that time of languid days, vacation fun,
Quickly becomes onerous under the burning sun.

A poem that includes the words Ice/Sun/Kite 

Flying kites

At the beach , the sun blazed,
Over the warm sand, a fluttering kite in their gaze,
Two children ran, shouting in delight,
Strangers at first , a charming way to break the ice.

First smiles

The warmth of your smile
Melts , the awkwardness of first meeting,
Like sun melts ice,
And let my aspirations soar to heights,
That mocks, the flight of the kites.

A couple of poems on a picture of a sapling rising from the cracked earth....

Summer love

Although I may be broken,
In the glare,of your scorching indifference,
I send you this offering, a chance at redemption,
That rooted in my wet bosom,
Alive in your light,
This promise of life
May grow, mature, ripen,
In the the summer of our love.

Parched lips

From her parched, drying lips
She uttered a blessing
In defiance, of the heat that strips,
From her damp depths,
Sustained life,
That is ,
Our benediction,everlasting.
