This was sent to me by another poet in response to my poem 'Future memory'. I thought it was exceptional and worth posting. Any feedback will be forwarded to the poet. Thanks

First read: 'Future Memory' http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewpoetry.asp?id=121956
The poem below is written by a poet in response. I thought the last line was especially clever. What do you think?


Do you remember...
the wonderment in my eyes
as I watched yours open halfway
and how the smile spread across my face
as you sleepily mouthed a kiss onto your pillow
for me to retrieve
how the early morning sun
spilled through the open window behind you
onto the translucent sheet delicately draped from
your shoulder
to your thigh
illuminating your every contour with the soft glow
of the new-born day
how you nibbled one strawberry and then another from my lips
without raising your cheek off the pillow
as I marveled at the glow of your sun-bathed skin
and grinned in anticipation of the reluctant reopening
of your sparkling turquoise eyes
how you purred contentedly
as I slid one arm and then the other under you
how you squealed in mock resistance
and then clung to my neck
as I lifted you up and carried you out the doorway
i
nto the soft ocean breeze
how the sheet fluttered gently and caressed your back
as I walked across the beach
to where the waves came coyly rolling in
to playfully lick the sand
how you thumped my back and gasped aloud
upon seeing that I would not stop
at the water's edge
how the sheet streamed behind us across the surface
like a mermaid's wedding veil
as the deepening water reached up to kiss
your lovely bottom
how you splashed my face
and slipped out of my arms
leaving the empty sheet in my hands
how my shocked expression evaporated
as you resurfaced, naked, with an impish, vengeful grin
and chased me to shore
f
inally catching me under the palm trees...?
and do you remember what happened next...?
I
remember...
as if it were tomorrow...


NOT WRITTEN BE ME.
FEEDBACK WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE POET

Oh that is wonderful. Romance at it's best, and clearly stated...the metaphor "like a mermaid's wedding veil" was superb. Lovely! Michelle
