Pearls at Your Feet


I watch pink-blue horizons  

as visions of your face 

fade in the sinking sun  

your footprints linger in the haze.  

 

Reflections of white satin seas 

open and shut walls  

the Elysium of endless dreams  

where shadow and light fall. 

 

Nameless on these pages  

weaving sweet tapestry  

in sonnets, poetic sequences  

as every word comes rapidly.  

 

Secrets of your heart  

Touched by subtle motions  

Rising with a rising star 

At the start of profuse notions.  

 

Gems of topaz 

on your caramel hands  

sun rain angels’ dance 

in a lover’s trance.  

 

Let me play a sonata  

as silver moons glide  

the muse, Hakuna Matata  

you by my side.  

 

Every inch of you is beautiful  

curves, your body petite  

yesterdays were forever few  

I lay pearls at your feet.   

 

I disappear into an ocean of people  

leaving paths of sweet jade  

until we meet again in the regal  

among diamond blue shades.
