Without hesitation

I knew you

 

after reading your astro-philosphical jottings

even though it'd been only a week

of handholding.

 

My soul felt your souls steady

blue gaze, so she allowed

the top of her head and her eyes

to peek out of the atrium lake

full of electric, pulsing trout

and lilypad beats.  She stared

back at him.  He was nude

and unabashadly so.  He stepped

into the lake, scattering ripples

and muddy light and she rose,

topaz droplets like watery stars

slid down her collarbones, breasts,

curves, follwed her skin back

to the lake.  He reached for

her, she walked into his arms;

       water meeting land,

       woman and man.

 

I saw all of this as we sat on

your half-frump, mostly shrug

of a couch as July cracked

its knuckles outside in front

of the sun. I put down your

Macbook, turned away from

the text on the screen, and faced

you with my eyes fully

open and above the pulsing water.

Author's Note

Alright, my apologies for this piece. It is by far the cheesiest, most stupid thing I've ever written. Tear it apart with silver teeth :)

;) I love stupid - and on occasion, cheese. Though one humans stupid cheese is another human's cradle of ambrosia (Wha?) I declare you have made me smile with your poem here. Even in your throwaway mood, you have the right stuff. (Or should that be 'write' stuff?)
Much love -

Pulsing trout and Lilly pad beats...you are allowed to be cheesy with these kinds of personal cryptic. I'm not as poetically inclined as you..or much at all so if there was something bad to say about it I wouldn't know. I loved every word.
