Prideful thoughts swirling heavy…

Sporadic gusts, indifferent sky, no deterrent

Patina tonality unloved and crude

Abrupt shift; busy, hard - looming intensity

Water abruptly transitions to concrete…

I perch anew - again - hope bubbling…

Tides of regret cascade across prostate soul

Warmth effusing skin and soul.

Esteemed totem of sweet innocence…

Cheeky giggle, passionate push…

Racing the clock; effort and exuberance balance

Arms flap, feet gaily kick.

Revered coast, venerated city. Prefer interior.

Striking apparition of tender temperament.

Strained. Once broth now consommé

Climb selected, team assembled

Spiralling into mosaic pattern punctuated with gold

Pregnant with anticipation. 

Mirrored feelings, shared tastes...

She asserts truth, he hears provocative fiction
