My eyes played tricks,
not moving to the monitor
but pulling toward
that sound of sipping tea
The soft whooshing captured my focus.
Mind following eyes - -
I was on my back
basking in the sun - -
gazing at the clouds
Her emanation was sapphire blue,
emerald green tinged crimson
at the edges - -
monitor and mind together went
blank. I sat in a trance
until the emotion crept
slowly up my neck then down my back.
She gave me a glance.
She finished her tea
shuffled some paper, left the place
A dancer without music,
the glide out graceful.
Her glimmering aura disappeared
as she faded into the day

My eyes played tricks,
not moving to the monitor
but pulling toward
that sound of sipping tea
The soft whooshing captured my focus.
Mind following eyes - -
I was on my back
basking in the sun - -
gazing at the clouds
Her emanation was sapphire blue,
emerald green tinged crimson
at the edges - -
monitor and mind together went
blank. I sat in a trance
until the emotion crept
slowly up my neck then down my back.
She gave me a glance.
She finished her tea
shuffled some paper, left the place
A dancer without music,
the glide out graceful.
Her glimmering aura disappeared
as she faded into the day
