Impressions

Sun-drenched blondes in black
and skin tight dresses
tan and blue-eyed babies on arms
and shoulders bare and bellies ring
as gypsy skirts sway to street guitar
the black blues sound of a smile
where an ancient couple
barely able to walk
hold each other and dance
with the grace of youth
and love is in the way his hand
presses her back
ice-cream with fresh fish
and seaweed and
lots of suntan lotion-

the sun must set in this ocean
even when I’m gone.

Impressions indeed! Your poetry has a way of making me feel the places or emotions you describe - another beauty here.

I think I'll live here for a while!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more?
