My Beautiful Sailor

[douglas]

Early evening

Comfortable, softly golden sun

Coming down gently upon my salty skin

 

I'm in a bubble of oceanic stillness

With a beautiful sailor washed up

On to the sand beside me

 

His nose is delicate

His face streamlined

Framed by swirls of dark hair

And held by the light

 

And the sea is now calm

After delivering her handsome gift to me

All green, grey, blue and silver at the same time

 

I'd like to lean over

Bend my neck

And kiss him softly on his lips

As he sleeps

 

Instead

I swim out far into the stillness to reflect

Occasionally looking back

To make sure that my unopened treasure chest is still there.

[Larsen M. Callirhoe]

There's a hypnotic quality about your plain language, a skill that's deceptive and not easy come by. B.
