the breeze left footprints across the sand
like a trail of fine lace
it tip-toed over grass dotted dunes
swirled through beach plums
and came to rest in my ears
like a forgotten memory
whispering of stolen, star-lit kisses
and slow dances on a moon-lit floor
murmuring of far-off dreams
and an angel's sigh

the breeze moved on
like an impatient child
to lift and frolic among the clouds
leaving me earthbound
swept up in the footprints of a breeze
though in my heart
I soared too
aloft in crystal skies

A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.
Mae West (1892-1980)

who could forget the way you write imagery..
this is lovely and softly sensual like a summer breeze on bare skin...
so good to read you again

Beautifully poetic images........nicely expressed. I know that feeling when a breeze seems to swoop down and consume you for a few moments....it's actually very refreshing like your poem here!

It's so nice to read you again. Are you taking requests for posts of your other 'oldies' but goodies? We have a lot of newbies here that should get a dose of the X Angel....
