Aquamarine washes over me streaming.

  
You are here before me in an unfamiliar moment
in familiar surroundings flowing
with busy voices, restless feet and hazy faces.
But, like ghosts, I see through them to only
ourselves:

your current surrounds me, it tugs me,
small waves building
upon waves.
How simple if I could wish away
solidity, will myself porous, then let
you filter through me, each
cool touch and tendril threading
my heat, each liquid strand mingling with mine.

Yet I'm stranded, and your eyes flow freely, aquamarine
washes onto me streaming
even over sealed lips, which might part
and drink.

If only you would sweep me away from these
struggling shadows and illuminated walls
to where the wind shivers silently,
the trees stand
still
and the leaves, speechless.

I am glad to see that as your technical ability grows you have not left the things that made you a natural poet behind. I bet you have become the teacher's pet...heh

Love this dear.

Now who's gorgeous? Smiling at you from across the ocean...you write from a tranquil place so deep inside, I do so envy that. (My writing methods resemble sort of an emotional catfight...) You're GORGEOUS.
