Time savors its victory
For which I have no defense
So I spend the whiles delicately
Immersed in the memory of you

I once thought the sea was telling
But no, it was just me listening
Listening for the sound of our breathing
And the voices known only to you and I  

Your thick raven hair lying over my shoulder
Your dark eyes limpid and possessing
Slowly tracing paths to my own
Your soft comforting arms around me

Then...

Days are longer now and shadows show the best of me
But I still see, feel, and smell the rapture of those days
When time was more obedient
And we were so restless within it

...just bein' Bluesy

Bluesy
Makes a person say ahhh, or is it awwh, or just plain sigh? Very romantic. Perfect for the day!


Happy VDay Lori

Very, very beautiful, Bluesy.  The last stanza brought tears to my eyes.
