I thought I had found you!
again
where are you?
this journey is long
my steps falter
I grow tired
weary
resigned
enroute to you.....
the lines on my face
deepen
as my resolve
strengthens
will you recognize me?
a woman no longer
dazzling
in the glory of youth
I imagine our world
our life
I wish it was clearer
cloudy images
frustrate me
vague dreams
sadden me
but the certainty of you
delights me
I'm plain
obscure
strange
quiet
I don't know which part of me
captivates you
but the miracle
of this life
is simply
that it does
colourful tiles
sweat on sweat
Latin music
Spanish words
chickens
goats
suntans
red wine
gardens
fresh herbs
midnight dips
in warm waters
making love
on sandy beaches
firm ground
under soft blankets
fresh pineapples
ripe mango
home-grown tomatos
these are my images
of us
you are
strong
browned
by the sun
sweet
beyond my imaginings
dedicated
beyond my knowing
loyal
humble
hungry
for change
progressive
kind
loving
completely comfortable
with Now
these are my images
of you
I wait
for a life
that eludes me
a dream
that overtakes me
a lover
that haunts me
all the while knowing
if I was ready for you
we would already be
together
I'm sorry my love
for growing old
before I found you
I'm sorry my love
for letting
so much of the world
envelop me
wasting
our precious time
en route to you
