Vinni
She held on to my hand
With a fingertip fragility
Enough for energy to flow
Because we always connected
Even with eyes closed
I could see forward
And in park paths
Ginger our steps
As though a pavement of foam
I think when love is alive
You are in the cushioned world
I think that blue is the deepest colour
And especially when clouds
Make the perfect shape
On the cumo nimbus days
I hope that youth is eternal
For the sake of my love
I wish her always this way
The day she stands
At my side
Brisker,
a pace in park pathways
a lake opened up
And caught the sky
Symmetrical images
I could see her red coat in the water
The ripples masked
What I already learned to love
Her face to me
Perfectly clear
And the ruffled dears
Must have looked in envy
Or admiration
The two of us are entwined
Kicking leaves
And hanging out
With the most
Sublime of sentiments
A silence of comfort
And when needed
A palm squeeze from her
Lets me know
Just in case
I had drifted too far
Into dreams
The closest thing I can relate
Is the most serene
music
on top of the peace
a summer afternoon
Far from the nagging city worlds
We reached the iron gate
And my heart had curled
To a sleeping ball
And lost it’s pain
All content
celebrate
our flushed pulse racing
Briefly kissed
Lips just touching
But eyes exchange
so much relies upon withdrawal
She said my name
Her fringe deftly arranged
Pedantically Perfect
And framed
half turn,
all dreamy and warmed
cheek rosy and formed
perfect
face
ahead.
