I met you
on a windy day
in the winding heart
of an ocean pass.
I drifted in
on an accidental breeze
(a bumble if I humble)
and landed gently down
in the belly of a
sweet sultry suite
I met you
in a red dress...
and a grin brimming with glee
your grand mirth hugged the whole room
while your voice filled it with life.
your hands to your craft,
your thoughts in a web of humor, skipping.
Yet,
you greeted me in dulcet tones when
your eyes flittered to meet mine;
the sweet fragility of a rose.
we met
in a rich space
In-Between
the briefest of moments
we met
bashfully; guarding our child hearts
we played our roles
as if we did not know.
...
Yet,
for hours we watched
the other
watch the other
my beating heart is
ever the reminder
of the spell
your footfall cast
your gait strong
your heart firmly forward
graceful integrity became you
and my heart learned to beat in its time
memories yet to be lived
evoked in resonance flooded me
I met you
when the trees dancing outside rustled their applause
to the bustle of your cause.
a cup of warm milk
spiced golden
you brewed for me
and placed it
so gently
before me
I cherished
every sip for hours
delicate flavors caressed my tongue as
I felt the warmth of your hand
slide between my lungs
and nestle against the curve of my heart
I cherished
every sip for hours
as you entertained the whimsy
of a quaint magician
and all the fairies that came to graze
I cherished
every
In-Between gaze
for hours
...
