Mrs. GH's 2nd Period AP Lit Class

Your Brunette Ocean
X

Tickling hands
1
of aweing embracement
2
ruffle through manila thoughts.
3


I only envisioned us
4
doing those meager things
5
people let wiggle by
6
in this time of rushed recreation.
7


Sharing sips of frosted lemonade
8
on the warmest noon the sun can spare
9
while Canon in D Major lulls our love
10
to a peaceful standstill.
11


All we need to do is savor each other--
12
warm and damp,
13
fleshy and pressing.
14


Hair astray,
15
it brings out the toffee in your eyes.
16
Through an adoring gaze, I take my fill like a child.
17
Your hair's stirring cinnamon swirls
18
and glinting gold-kissed waves
19
paint my world of inspiration--
20
dictates my words for you.
21


Piano notes and guitar plucks
22
can't vibrate notes enough to challenge the music
23
we create in our silence.
24


Your presence
25
is my present.
26


You're nestled against my chest
27
on a grassy bed that's ours for the rolling.
28
Fitted airily inside my arm,
29
I press my hand against your lovely fluttering torso
30
while that lovely strawberry eloquence drifts
31
from the nape of your neck
32
challenging oxygen
33
and caressing my senses.
34


Sententious sailing
35
is all we do as I run my fingers through your strands of brunette ocean.
36


We're painting honey, we're painting
37


and this is a masterpiece.
