We sat on a bench
awaiting sunset
listening to the ocean crash
against the rocks
sipping pink lemonade
from glasses we bought at a thrift store
two years ago
before
the feathers flew
and we knew
in our blind flight
love tarred us together
tight.
I sat listening to your eyes
attentively
basking in the warmth of your smile
watching your lips part
as my heart
did everything but scream
I love you!
You stole a kiss like a thief
unexpectedly
causing my blood pressure to rise
for a long moment
long enough for the sun to sink
another degree.
We sat and talked about shortcuts
to the moon
where I would chisel us
on the surface to last for eternity
in a lunar rock.
Then we discussed the possibilities
dimensions needed
to keep us close
in flame pajamas
while riding a shooting star
singing
Baby, you can drive my car!.
All this
while awaiting sunset.
The beautiful photo caught my eye, but your poetry is mesmerizing! Love it all.
