Daydream Tales
(for Simon)

Down by the sparkling sea
Down through the wispy weeds
Underneath the smiling sun

We scattered silky-rough sand
In our long black-gold hair
Rubbed it gently through our hands
We thought this was forever

We were always together
In all kinds of weather
Reading poems by Lorca
By the black, spinning water

Down by the raging waves
Down through the secret shades
Underneath the frowning moon

I imagined tall, dark men
With silver-sequinned hems
And in your dark Spanish hat
You looked almost like that

I dreamt dreams of Apollo
You made love to Helen
Maybe those dreams were hollow
But they seemed so real then


Note:
This is about the time I spent with my (then) best friend Simon (or “Codpiece”) 1986-88. We were 16-18 and practically inseparable.
Thanks to allan for making me remember! (Hi allan   )

Hi Uta!

Sometimes it's a definite advantage being a European! I get to read your poem while the rest of the world sleeps!

I absolutely loved this. You create a wonderful atmosphere here. I can taste the salty air! A great poem, well done!

Very nice Uta, loved the imagery.  Brings back my own memories.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
