Playing In The Sand Castles You stood there, in pink lapels Describing texture and angle to footings The first to trace a line beneath the door Knowing I would read your thoughts Punctuate your cliché, and pour the mortar Quietly your mind raced the speed of sound Completing a first story, and starting a second You thought I was not aware Out of sight, fastidious hands took shovel I followed the blueprint, carved an arch in the hall Dug moat through saturation of will Holding to the sides built deep and smooth You hid, beneath the stealth of sunlit murmur Tag was not an option, and I turned back to smooth Moving my hands slowly down each eternal curve Hope touched longingly at the back of your neck Giving shiver to the excitement of my visions You wrote me notes in the sand Knowing I would read each line over and over Thinking as I fashioned more closely to your words As I grew tired, lonely and losing hope to sunset I felt your breath through my hair, warm winds of comfort I closed my eyes, pictured the touch of your hands Moved my hips in time with yours, step to step Drawing my every breath in your voice The tower was finished just today…perfect pitch and tone The moat filled with feeling and soothing sounds You stepped out from behind the walls To admire with me, and toast to water rites Copyright Kkh 3/12/06 |
