Relax

Just that....Relax.

Put your toes in that sand, quick sand

Your jaw line melts into a fond sigh of recollection

The water washes worries from between your toes

And you toast to the gods of this days beauty

 

Its not home that has you pining for the simple things

There is nothing simple about eating your routine

Puff pastry moments are sweet but go down too fast

Here the flavors of the moment drip over the sides of your tongue

 

So tell me your deepest desire in crosstitch detail

Sew my lips shut with a touch from your perfect finger

With a wave and a smile you walk away knowing

That I was here and I filled your day with pearls

 

When sunset arrives with its finality and promise

When the silver fish of ideas are slippery but still

When the beating of our hearts gives way to shallow gasps

You think of me in this place and breathe a heavy sigh

 

Its time to relax.....

This is a delicious tease! I love the way you describe being unhooked from the routine as a necessary part of relaxing. Being self-employed, especially, or hooked to the cell phone, on call for work, as so many must be these days. You really do need to go away to get unplugged from the never-ending media influences. What you describe in your poem is exactly how I feel living here where I'm far from noise & chaos (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
