My Turquoise Sea

A memory triggered by my cologne A crisp clean scent, like morning dew Days of chaos and confusion Hoping for relaxation The sound of a gentle rain tape playing in the background Lulling the children to sleep at rest time Laundry, dishes, housework and ten children Day after day Monotony Then there was the neighbor His smile, his laugh, his turquoise eyes Shining and dancing with magic His voice and words oozing charm His heart so sensitive and full of spirit Tenderness dripping from every vein of his body Sexy and mysterious, muscular and gentle His soul alive with adventure A drifter cowboy type He picked me up with one swift movement And placed me on a pedestal Rescuing me from the dreariness He pressed his lips to mine and I knew The ordinary quickly faded away My toes curled and my heart melted like butter I drifted as if caught in the wind on fairy dust Into the depths of the turquoise sea that surrounded me His eyes, my cologne, and the whirlwind of euphoria Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend
