Ripples

by Joseph Knob

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

it was out on the dock where you met me that morning
just by chance
to see the rising sun
you could have been anyone
but i knew who you were
as your approaching footsteps made the
aging wood creak
we didnt speak
but you did sit down next to me
on the edge of the pier
where you and i
sat silent
and looked upon the morning sky's
reflection on the peaceful surface
that stretched into the distance
where the slightest glow of sunlight
began to swell
you took my hand in yours
and looked at me
and, against my wishes
you forced my eyes into yours
with your hand on my face
your eyes told me to surrender
and
without a word
you kissed me

Beautifully penned, with wonderful imagery.
Well done and much enjoyed!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

"I knew who your were"

Love claims its own, for sure!  The vision of dawn on the docks, with it's serenity and new awakenings... your imagery and metaphor strike to the basic beauty of being alive.  Lovely poem!
