Diluted dawns
as etchings shift
from once lived colors
detoured, stricken
now on sills of vista
views

phantom haunts
on boardwalk benches
where love in mood
watercolor hued
blooms,
then drowns
in tides, intercepted

you wore my bouquet
and i caught you

where once we touched
warped in essence
now caught in image
of stained glass that
plays our blues

but your ink
is potent

as i lay back

lulled far off
from lines of shore

where time won't break

for now, trapped,
wrapped,

inside
the wave of you.

* Bayhead..a beach town in NJ *

I write so wordy, and you write so pretty and to the point.
You're looking good all wrapped up in that wave, girlie.

nice, nice, nice~

Dear Goddess, this was absolutely amazing!
I loved every part of it, especially the ending.

So nice to read you again.
