Zephyr Whispers
Although quite busy today, you still slipped in
brandishing a smile on a zephyr whisper.
Cherished memories of the day we met: a
dreary afternoon, spent in sprinkling rain.
Everything I had learned about meeting strangers
fled my mind when hellos were said.
Getting to know each another, strolling the city,
hair plastered down, make-up running.
I listened to your life story, and you tentatively to mine
just the same as friends who had known each other a lifetime.
Keepsakes in my book of life I’ll never tear out.
Laughing about our experience just the other night, while
making love during the storm. We fell in love from the start!
Nothing felt so wonderful for such a long time, and I sang,
”Oh no, it’s just the nearness of you” softly in your ear.
Perfect song for the emotions I was feeling, I think for you too.
Quietly we snuggled, mesmerized by tapping rain.
Relishing the feel of your arms just holding me.
Seduced by ice blue eyes, sent shivers tip-toeing across my skin,
totally in awe of the moment. You touched my heart in so many ways.
Usually I had more control over ‘self’, but from that first date
virtually all caution was thrown to the wind.
Watching this again today in my mind, as if; by
Xylography- patterned, etched and burned into memory.
You became part of my being that day, and I, a part of yours.
Zephyr winds softly blew, and fanned the flames of loves desire.
