10 July 2009

frayed edges and colored skies

the icy drink,
blended to perfection 
is smooth as it hits her lips,
and awakens her feelings.

her thoughts are all over the place
as she soaks in the sun 
and writes to a guy,
far away.

this guy, her lover,
is somewhere in the trees,
smiling at the thought 
of her.

she dangles her feet 
over the edge of some wood,
beaten by the weather,
the breeze catches her.

her feet swirl around 
in the water beneath her.
as she thinks of him,
and the laughter he brings.

cut-offs and a deep orange V
have become her comfort today.
her blonde hair is down, 
in a mess of waves.

she carries herself well,
as she walks away from the dock,
her adventure coming to an end,
as she awaits the arrival,

of her lover.
