Passing Ships Gentle Sips

She had eyes of salacious sapphire

They were as cool as ice yet burnt like fire

Her hair was like strands of sunlight

They would wrap themselves around me foretelling my plight

We met on a beach on a cloudy day

She hypnotized my will and swallowed everything I could say

There was little sun and yet there was no rain

The seas were calmed and the winds’ sighs were in vain

Our talk was not significant yet our words were stones

We built bridges and constructed what would be our home

We laughed and our armor and fences were unfurled

Our word dance made it a sunny delightful world

We talked about our baggage and journeys traveled

Our symphony made all defenses mute and unraveled

Time was short yet lasted an eternity

There were others around us yet we were solitary

We did not eat and did not drink

But we were fed by the things we would say or think

Although this jewel started with a gentle hi

A day like no other and would end with a simple bye
