NaPoWriMo Day 5: Dear You

A Golden Shovel (after Passing Time by Maya Angelou)
This was hard and also a great exercise. Touche NaPoWriMo


DearYou

I would like to jump into a pool of your
smiles. Laughter for days, skin
radiating happiness like
you were born for kisses at dawn

and staring into brown eyes. Mine.
Just who am I? -  Carrying on like
a lovesick child choking on the musk
of embarrassed pre/post regret. Still.. One

day we will  run as the sun paints
the sky  - and as eyes meet the
pits of our souls will mark a beginning
that will be the next chapter of

our lives. It will not matter if you are a
cook or engineer or writer or -- I am certain
neither of us will care. Such things don't end
affairs of the heart. Or of the mind? The

truth is I don't know one from the other
- they are a pair. I only wonder when the
clock will strike and cause an end
to  this 'now'? We shan't concede like any of

those who gave up right before a
prize was found. So you press on. I'm sure
you'll find me; our book needs a beginning.

Here's to love. Parents, siblings, friends, fuzzy creatures. Agape, eros, philia, the whole shebang.
