I stepped outside and
time slowed to a
hazy heat wave
slow too hot to move
kind of crawl

The crystal blue sky winked
down at my slightly
upturned face

Innocence recaptured
in a moment...

From above the sun
saw a cherub smiling slightly
with the barest glint of
smokey green slivered eyes
winking back in that
knowing sort of way

Sweetly soft cradling
sunlight
Heat rained down
saturating white cotton
t-shirt
and faded denim
Raising goose-bumps on
milky white skin

And I shivered

As sweetly felt
heard
spoken
Lightly touched thoughts
of you, my secret love
Drift floated
languidly by on scents
of a gingerlily and coconut
afternoon

What a lovely day it turned out to be
