Alone On Vacation Poem by Kay Barcelon

Hot restless August days
Can’t seem to quench my thirst
Dry summer August nights
Can’t seem to get you off my mind

The mornings are even more difficult
I wake up missing you by my side
The sunny beach is a terrible site
I am not alone but alone in the crowd

As I walk alone the burning sands
I hesitated upon my every step
With thoughts of you being left behind
Us separated by the connecting ocean

Rescue me from this scorching summer
I should not be here alone without you
Only you have the perfect warmth
Around you I feel comfortable and calm
