Semaphores

Semaphores

Slippery slopes remain 

Cooled by the air
My palms and fingers
Slid inside your dress
Running
Along your spine
Tingled to your neck

Converts body
I wandered
And plundered
In the taciturn distance

Make you a sea
And I your beach
Make you a wave
And I your crest

Make you a castle
And I the bricks

To stand upon the shore
I the wind
Whisper its caresses
In my hand
Impart
And hold you
Aloft

Slippery slopes remain

Denis Joe December 16, 2008 at 10:35 AM I like this Colin. There is a great feel to it,in particular in the two quatros. The way that this is structured is great credit and pulls out the language for the reader to savour.

Michael Torres December 15, 2008 at 3:10 PM Colin very clever in your metaphore's of love and passion. The women are rejuvenated after reading this. If they are married their husband's are in trouble lol. GBU and your son Michael
