Lace and Finery

The water rests now
Letting sundown play upon its surface
Glittered with glee, the images flee
A mirror of gulped horizons
Slur my words, in grape
Picking a moment from the stem
Trickles down my chin, melting into scent
The day has been spent admiring your hands
Did you know my second thoughts of well laid plans?
Sedulity as conversations trailed in far off lands
Peeling off a casual veneer, behind the blind with evening near
Stars gather their beginnings in my heart
Aspiring to be the glisten on your skin

WOW! I LOVE the imagery of this. Very powerful. Given that I have a crush on someone right now, this poem speaks volumes to me. - J
