A Day Like No Other

  

As I watched the sun begin to set down

Into the ocean, scarlet red upon reflection,

An euphoric scent rode in

On an off shore breeze

Like a surfer catching the perfect wave.

It was far too sweet to be jasmine,

And much too delicate to be from a rose…

         I knew is it was a sign

That this was to be a day like no other;

Then out of the blue

                  You appeared.

Walking along the shoreline,

Watching the sun cascade off your curves

The moment was more magical

         Then if a mermaid would’ve appeared.

For so long you have been my hope for humanity

                           Faith in friendship

                           Belief in being myself

Now standing before, staring into…

Sincere eyes, I know I can believe in things

         I don’t see.

As I watch your soft lips

         While you speak to me of life, love and memories

I can feel compassion seeping into my skin,

Suddenly I feel beauty from within.

Gracing me with one day in your presence

Was the greatest gift beyond anything material.

For though we are back to messages in a bottle

That day was more valuable then any

Sunken treasure that could be discovered

beneath the ocean.

Beautiful..... no other way to describe it! It just exuded sweetness and a sort of romance. Amazing imagery, too. I think my favorite lines were:

"For though we are back to messages in a bottle
That day was more valuable then any
Sunken treasure that could be discovered
beneath the ocean."

Gorgeous!

A beautiful poem. You created your very own magical time capsule which you keep adding to with the metaphoric "messages in a bottle." A true rendering of a heart capable of more than it allows the world to see. A graceful and eloquent artistry done in the softest of pastels.
