River run swiftly
against the crooked sky
race the gulls
with all thy might.
Bring me there--
I pray thee -- run!
Bring me quickly to her door
before sun rises overhead.
With chocolates wrap'd in gold
bracelets of amethyst--
songs from memory--
let her remember.
Before the world stops spinning
let me see--
the smile of noon day
and the chime of laughter.
That steady gaze--
so constant, so sure...
her fingers brush the canvas--
Apple Red for Lotus Girl...
Mistress to the canvas--
stain out your heart.
I'll study the shameless paint
as your choc'lates sit on the table.

A poem I wrote for my best friend who lives several states away. I miss her! pout
