Purple Skies and Cold Drinks

Purple clouds above the avenue

Fading slowly into blue

Tiny rooftop conversations

Mixing with the evening tunes

Sweat drops sliding down the glass

Frozen lemons turning clear

Open windows catching fragments

Of the music from downstairs

The air tastes sweet tonight

Like time is moving light

And the city wears a glow

Only summer seems to know

Purple skies and cold drinks

Midnight balanced in between

Every passing bicycle

Leaves echoes through the heat

Street murals under violet light

Shimmer softly after five

And the evening wraps around

Like waves without a sound

Worn-out sneakers on the subway stairs

Posters peeling from the walls

Late commuters leaning quietly

Against the station doors

Cherry soda on the table edge

Melting slowly in the haze

Someone laughing near the alleyway

Like nothing ever changed

Summer settles in the dark

Leaving colors on our hearts

And the silence underneath

Feels calmer than the heat

Purple skies and cold drinks

Slowly drifting through the streets

Every glowing traffic sign

Feels suspended out of time

The skyline painted lavender

Makes the whole world feel gentler

As the warm night lingers on

Long after sunset’s gone

Maybe these nights disappear

When September reappears

Still the feeling always stays

Hidden somewhere in the haze

Like perfume inside old clothes

Or songs nobody uploads

Tiny pieces left behind

By another summer night

Purple skies and cold drinks

Still floating inside me

Every dim and distant spark

Leaves a color in the dark

Though the morning waits ahead

Beyond sleepless weekends

I will keep these violet skies

Somewhere safe inside

Purple skies and cold drinks

Summer fading beautifully
