Covert

Fay Slimm.

 

Covert.

I see

butterscotch evenings,
lollipop skies of amber-cream,
last light frothing waves 
as sea's olive coverlet changes       
to caramel-sepia.

*

*
I see

                 twilight blush streaking                 
                  dusk in stripe humbug-tints,      
                         pink cheeks dimpling                
         as honied in cherry-lip mem'ry   
              arises clandestine scenes.

*

*

I see

Treacle-soft times sealing
promise of secret trials,
offers of pleasure
as sundown uncovers eager 
share in mutual feelings.

*

*

I see

Chocolate-smooth dreaming 
invades ever after to hold            
close romantic moments 
             spent in covert still tasting                  
of first love sweetness.

    Hue would have thought it possible to capture so many colours and shades of shades even covertly held yet freely available to those who want to see them at each end of the day .......................... x
