The Royal Kona Poem by Snow Summers

We attempt to collate,
distant faces and places
so our vacuous hearts
can refill the spaces
But it seems until we
am weightless in air
heavy in thoughts,
we may never fare.

My heart has been divvied
across state lines and bounds
Under cerulean oceans,
buried far underground
And my thoughts are sprawling
cross miles on end
to the real and symbolic
heights I ascend

Tears that cascaded
straight into our sweat
The sunburns and scars
press us not to forget
The most worthwhile flaws
We've engraved in our skin
Though we can't heal the wounds
wrecking us from within

But each smile that stretched
far and wide as the tide
Is worth an ocean of tears
my weary eyes cried
The most valuable flaws
mold the people we are
We're the sum of mistakes
in a turbulent car

I've learned that love
is a unwavering fire
I could hand it around,
yet old flames never tire
So I flagged down my love
in each inch of each place
One can never root out
deep love from its base

So I fell in love with places
and fell deeper for youth
And I valued those around me
Though we all ignored the truth
I will never see their faces
does not mean I love them less
they're the carvers of the best scars
that one ever could possess.
