AWAKENING

Do you remember

the day our friendship caught fire?

Your hand on the nape of my neck

electrifying my spine

your kiss a lovely jest to silence words

You moved my soul to dance,

planted your footprints in my heart.

The sound of the ocean

waltzed in my blissful mind;

the sea soft and warm

rolled and glittered, golden-hued.

Far on the horizon

bending rays fell into night

as I fell in love with you
