INTERLUDE

 For that moment…

Your name was mine

And you opened doors for me

As you communed with my eyes

To finest textures of sky blue, indulgent panoply

Across the cool measure of gleaming marble squares.

Past hand-rubbed antiquities in stark contrast to the

Reflection of embrace, anew in the glaze

And right angled expanse of bloated clouds

Backdrop hung heavy at dusk above the city-scaped mural.

Our ears oblivious to the din of traffic gnarled below

Privileged only to the symphonies

Two hearts compose in the sway and swirl

Of bubbly crystalline

Effervescence,  yet to be imbibed.

The poetry and intrigue of tone on tone

Expanses… pristine, and crisply white,

painstakingly made,

A Godiva mine, boasting infinite numeric count.

The world at a standstill, hearts raced

Atop mountains of eider fluff, regal stripes

And complimenting crewel, rich in

The delicate swag of emotional embroidery

Ardently appliquéd in that evocative fantasy

As eyes shouted spirituals,

Your warmth melted winter’s curbside chill

And nothing else really mattered

But the now.
