High yellows and deep purple. 
Erasing the blues.

so gently tugged by ocean breezes,

(Where the streets are full of pity)

The wait seemed eternal to feel inspiration.
Minutes were mountains as each one ticked by,
my hand poised grasping a pen, and then
seated without hitting one stroke on a key.

How I cherish this time of the day,

When my lover passes by. That gleam in her eye,

Letting me know, her intention is true,
