Week 3 : Record



Record

She touched me on the palm, smiled
Like a radiant, heavenly, recalcitrant child
And gazed gaudy dreams from moon-wide eyes.

She tossed her hair.

‘Come with me if you dare’, said she
And laughed as sweetly to make the tide forget the sea.

So I took her hand and we left that night.

The sun and earth, wrapped in a red flag with a golden star,
shadows fleeting, a leveled scar

And a smoky flower on tan skin to kiss. In bliss.

Scenes play out reel by reel in my mind,
Like an old movie where the lovers always find
Each other, through wanton storms and tender discord;
I only wish, I could have pressed record.
