You playfully
tease your hair
back over your ears
and smile that bubblegum smile,
your tongue
in the corner of your mouth
you're thinking...
a penny for them I say
you laugh
and turn away blushing.
I reach for you
but pause
taking time to take you in...
breathing you in
upon a floral scented breeze
your hair is buttercups and daisies
tied in poesies
with chocolate box ribbons
your summer dress is dreamtime
sewn anew
from bedroom curtains
your bare feet freedom and frivolity
nails painted green
poking fun at conformity
and you...
You are mine as much as a man can own the wind
or tame the wild mountain river
but you are mine
and I...
I am yours until such time as you no longer love me.
