MY SILVER CAPTAIN
Oh his lips, at dawn
a brandished dark-brown moustache.
touché!
~
And when we’d been together
as man and wife,
for a measure of time,
the upper lip ~
a scrub brush
~
clean, shaven,
master of youth
~
time mussed up
his dark brown-hair
with lovely sprigs of silver
~
Oh, behold,
not quite yet
at the dawn of twilight,
a lovely sprinkling
of silver
dancing ‘round his chin
and lips
i celebrate,
and plant a kiss
~
season’s treasures
of misdirection,
through ups and downs.
mood’s chameleon
of jewels ~ polished,
deeper, love’s illume
once again,
with twinkling eyes,
this wife excites,
“touché!”
