Sketches Out Of Time

You emerge
From the sea
Like Venus

 

The sun glistens
Off your
Wet skin

 

Beads roll
Down,
Caressing you

 

Tiny footprints
In the sand.

 


----------

 

You sip
Coffee
Delicately

 

Blowing steam
Cool breath
Mixing sugar

 

Your lips
Touch
The cup

 

Oh, I
Envy
That cup.

 

----------

 

I love
Hearing
You speak

 

Your phrasing,
Light as
A breeze

 

Such a
Delicate,
Lovely voice

 

It tinkles
Like
Wind chimes

 

Warm
And
Caring tone

 

A sweeter
Sound,
I have not found

 

-----------------

 

Party girl,
Clad in black,
Glowing

 

Elegance
With ease.
Party girl

 

You are
The only girl
In the room.

 

------------------

 

Balcony.
Sunrise.
Trees.
Leaves.
Ground.
You
Wake
Up.
Coffee.
Sleep
In
Your
Eyes.
Warm
Feet,
Cold
Ground.
Crisp
Fall
Air.


-------------------

 

Your picture changes.
I see you.
Same smile.
Same wide eyes.
Same freckle under your
Left eye.
Always lovely.
Always.
The background,
The clothing,
The people change.
But you, you remain.

 

---------------------

 

To be with you.
To run out into the night
and never stop.
No looking back.
To fly, to run, to drive.
Any which way.
It doesn\'t matter.
I want adventure.
I want life.
I want you.
I don\'t want to die.
I want to forget we die.
Forget and forget and forget.
We will forget it all.
Do not look back.
