Tiny Blue Moments

I'll leave it entirely up to you ..

Tiny Blue Moments

Tiny moments

like these

each filled with

our small talk

are much

like thin slices

of heaven

all strategically

placed on a

long thin Greek

island but

full to the brim

with such

fragile reflections ..

Yet still,

my two weeks

on Crete,

went too fast

for my liking

and I left you at

a bar while

I checked out 

from reception ..

And guess what

all because

I had a stupid

plane to catch ..

But this time

next year though

God willing

I shall return,

when your dark

hair will be longer

but still tied

back loosely with

the same

blue cotton ribbon ..

And when

we meet again

and you

ask what I want

from you ..

I shall say clearly,

and in all

honesty with

such conviction

because I’ve

rehearsed it so

very often, I’ll take

a cold white wine

from you now ..

But what I really

want is to

trace the entire

length of that

blue vein which

starts deep in your

shoulder

right through to

your ankle

and leave a trace

of my DNA there

with you for always ..

 

 

 

Reviews

[Thomas W Case]

Feels like a sunlit memory slipping into something far more charged—soft travel-day intimacy that slowly turns into something possessive and unsteady.
There’s a strong sense of longing in it, but also a tension where affection starts to blur the boundaries of what’s wanted and what’s imagined.

Beautiful poem. When less is more and the imagination runs away with you. A trail of kisses
