Words of Acadiana

i got caught up in the heat of summer i got swept away in thoughts of you the music pulsing through me moving me making it all come alive like the glorious soundtrack to a fantastic life grooving the sun beat down on my face you lit up my night nothing better and when you held my hand you also had my heart felt it in my heartbeat felt awe for the first time for something other than my own reflection you wounded my narcissism you set my soul free beneath cobalt blue skies and crystal clear aquamarine water we swam to our own beat my skin on fire with your touch a craving i had an appetite for your love in those lazy, hot days we flourished New Orleans in all her beauty just fed our lust the dripping moss above us the ancient streets beneath us we danced we loved the summer breeze pouring in from the River giving a hint of relief from the blistering sun everytime i look out from Jackson Square i can feel your touch and it refreshes me

In those days it was simpler The summer nights seemed to last for days Carefree escapades The humidity stuck to us Heightening the lust Magnifying the fun Sometimes I felt like the sun's light only existed for my skin Energy swarming Kisses that had the power to make your day Bronzed lovers Stealing moments in the grass Standing on a balcony on St Ann Your fingers caressed my blond hair As you bit my lip softly I think there's something about the heat in the South It makes you not care about anything but relief The moon The dew Cooling off the intensity of the day I ran into your arms Our love innocent Still makes me smile So long ago Summertime still brings that feeling out in me You still touch me Like the amber light of the sun You light up my life
