Like a rubber band
coiling around my fingers,
you give me something trivial to dwell upon
...for a sweet five seconds or so

Yes, I feel the warmth of your innocence
and your tamed, serendipitous smile
I also saw the sexy, alluring playfulness
...of your cocky grin

Pour me some green tea please, baby
so I can see the tensions on your face
as they slowly fade away just by simply
being in this moment...

A lot to be said for living in the moment-it's a great gig if you can get it. As for fading tensions, be it by green tea or green eggs and ham, I'm all about it. ~L

Not at all what I expected. The name was a poem all by itself. We are all in the moment, dear Bluesy. What more can there be?

I always have time for you...

Cool write, I imagine hot cocoa over green-tea, but that's just me. 'in the moment' is
a wonderful premise.

Enjoyed..

Bluesy...I try to read between the lines of some poems when the meaning isn't obvious this is one of those times.
Laugh if you will but I read this as you and your grand daughter having a tea party while she sits on your knee and she has you wrapped around her little finger like a rubber band...Paul

Being from the land of "snow-ghosts", I reckon you would prefer 'hot cocoa' over tea, especially 'ice tea'.

'preciate the visit, Miss Sky...

You've gotten everything 'spot-on', Paul, my friend...except she's wasn't my granddaughter!

Thanks so much for reading into this, Paul!

We were all teens at one time...and you know how teens exaggerate!

Thanks as always, Paul.

Thank you Bluesy for taking me there to the moment ~ There is never anything else that can quite compare to them when they are as sweet as that one. Pssst...I don't think you were watching tv at all! lol

I firmly believe that this moment in time calls for 101 proof Jack Daniels Whiskey . . . You bet!
