All the Time

All The Time The pale dusted blue Washes sunlight prances Falls in its edges of heat and pristine shade Shadows And I need you Couples old and young Hand in hand Arm in arm Families pass on pavements baked by the sun They smile Like children on shoulders Babies in push chairs Ice cones melting And I need you And every form of tree and leaf Dances Wafted by salt sea breezes They leap in their slow expression Of life As I need you All around the sweet sounds live Birds chirp People talk The wind whispers And eyes witness behind sunglasses And I need you And far away the distances Expanses open Lay landscapes out beneath the sun Busy streets Car roofs shimmer hot and traffic All happening in this moment As I need you Pretty women in their summer clothes Sip their beauty from every mans eyes And glide like angels loved by someone And the world is happily Curious in its ease And I need you And I rest in tension Taut and unspoken Quiet misnomer The wind catches me and dries the sweat on my brow With a strangers face watching the world As I miss you The light falls The shadows cosset The gentle air wafts spent bracts of bougainvillea The out laying pattern of life Reiterates Constant Sends its everlasting messages out And every second of time passes In tiny frozen moments And I need you Nothing changes Nothing replaces You
