To appear out of nowhere
catapulting us from this world-
of distaste.

Taking us
where the sun is eclipsed
where mystics and planters-
of thought reside
working together
side by side
pinching myself-
to check
am I still alive?

Climbing up a trellis
far reaching into the heavens
-you plucking
a purple rose
to lighten up my face
in your realm
gentlemen do exist
how I have forgotten this.

I'm in debt
to your charms
this strange-
inner and outer courtship
vanquished of time
makes life passable
as I wake each morn.

Excited to put on paper
the stories-
of our intimate,
nomadic journeys
letting everyone
feel a subtle twinge of envy.

A wide brimmed straw hat
my blue eyes rising
toward the sun and sky
perfectly blended

Clouds even the stormy variety
mixed in here and there

As I religiously dig in the earth
scattering tiny appreciative seed
of beautiful flowers
that will be

I think of you.

This was such tender poem I wrote years ago. Very simple.. The story behind it, I was working in my garden..all of sudden the air changed and everything became intensely heightened..the sun felt warmer hovering over my shoulders..there was such sense of clarity- So I stopped, then felt a breeze, suddenly he was all around me. So I looked up and thought- okay he's admiring me, I'm positive I blushed. I decided without pause, for capturing my attention in such a magnificent way- he gets a poem. A woman born with poetics inside her couldn't ask for a better muse..he makes poetry easy for me to write..the sadness is the difficult part. He reminds me of what many people take for granted...
