Thinking Today
I was thinking today, at work
About the ethereal effect
You instill in me.
Waves of light
Constantly
Filling me.
And windswept words
Dancing around my fingertips.
I long for a grab
But the breeze always
Blows them around
Sunwashed thoughts
In front of me
And they bathe in the light
Soaking in what's profound.
I was thinking today, in color
About the blood that courses
Through your being.
Thickened and blessed.
And even colored green -
Like your hair
Saturated with the falling leaves
Scattered 'cross
Autumn's breast.
And a stare
Colored angel white.
Those snowy eyes.
Purest gaze
Built from
Canada's morning flakes
And covered in light.
I was thinking today, steering images
About the ride home.
And how every intersection
Reminds me
Of the day we crossed paths.
And every corner of my face lit up.
Red -
The eyes that swelled up
With the tears of knowing
I was no longer dead.
Yellow -
The sunshine that pierced
And eased... subdued
The fearful winds that bellowed.
Green -
The way you cashed in all my words.
My incoherent blurbs
And showed me what they mean...
Two roads divulged into a single trail.
Stretched into the hillside
Of our rolling zeal.
I was thinking today, through a drink
About the half empty rum glass
I almost poured into the sink.
And ever gladly have been
By the dining table
Safekeeping it since.
For every night
We take a sip
And lose ourselves
Inside the little buzz
Of the liquored oxygen
That escapes our lips
When we are drunk
On one another's longing kiss...
I was thinking today, cooking up a thought
About the kitchen clock.
And how you promised
You would lay me down
Upon the counter top.
And whisper all your love
With playful tongue
Across my chest
While we just watch
All of the minutes stop.
And see the clock roll backwards
While you yearn in me.
And we etch our spot in time
As it ticks to Eternity.
I was thinking today, like always
About the silk blanket
That wraps around you.
And covers the profound you
In a soft encasing.
Beauty silhoutted...
