~a Crimson Rose I~
Driving along a coastal road
The top drawn down
On a magical seaside day
She, thumbing through a magazine
Reaching for the stereo dial
"Stop," I say, she smiles
The wind, dancing about her hair
Waltzing, she seems so, astonishingly beautiful today ~
Her reddened lips, her darkened eyelashes
Her blushed cheeks, and, her perfect nose
I try to sing along, with Peter Gabriels song
"In your eyes, the light the heat...."
I smile, as I gently caress her brow
She, lovingly leans into my hand, and my heart is warm
I look back ahead, and then toward the west
Thinking about....thinking about....thinking....
Her precious voice ~
"Can we dear," she says, "can we"
I smile again, as she softly kisses my ear
My eyes glance toward the mirror
A tiny heart, that still lives there today
Next to a cross, that she once did wear
Lost in thought again....
So magnificent, this moment it seems
As I glide my fingers, through her soft and waving hair
Slowly, across her shoulder, and down, her silkened arm
Until, our hands become intwined, as one ~
One, within her endless 'Splendor!'
"In your eyes, the light the heat...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I lift my head, from upon my pillow
I look at the clock, I look at the day
My eyes drop, lost in dreams again....
I glance beyond the door, and across the walls
Until, her picture sitting there ~
Never very far, never far from my eyes
I sit up, I touch it, I hold it....
She, wearing her favorite whitened sundress
Her smile, as a beckoning light~
Her golden skin, smooth and glistening, radiant ~
Walking upon the waters edge
Gliding, atop the sands, at sunset
The oceans tides, gently about our feet
"Can we dear," she laughs, "can we"
As I lift her up, as I lift her high, twirling, into the air....
"Forever my love" ~
"The light, the heat, I am complete...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I step outside, onto the balcony
A cup of coffee, within my hands
A tad bit nippy, I think, today
As I look, upon the waves....
(Continued).
