You Took My Mind on This Thought Stream

 


No promises, no commitments

Just hopes of keeping up with

the everchanging destinations

Reconstituted with every glance around

You glanced away

Don't call it a spark or a flicker

Simply something gorgeous to look at

Your dimples are rhetorical 

to the visionaries of the world

Sipping sweet tea, minus me

Barriers between our hands

and the rest of our bodies

Nothing I know better

No time other than this second

that flashes before our eyes

with a dozen hidden messages

that are meant to leisurely dissect

and make sense if we let it

Let poetry drape itself over

your stomach and legs.
