Twilight Parfait

Contributed by Man_On_High on Sunday, 18th June 2006 @ 08:43:17 PM in AEST
Topic: happypoetry



..for Katie




The day died-
it's twilight pastel parfait
as delicious in demise
as it's delicate key lime dawn.
Cranberry relish over streaks of marmalade
the candy coated sweetness of all my joy~
popsicle blue beneath a mulberry syrup
stretching out to the sugar spackled sea dawn sky!

The perfection of THIS DAY
as the surf crashes.. "liquid cotton"
like crystal crushed lemon slush-

It makes my heart smile through the soles of my feet!

Kissed by the sun..
and I drug my way through scalloped ridges,
a warming wash of ivory sand.


Strolling at sunset
I stopped in reverence - an inner snapshot:

"sniiick-clishhh"
quiet awe-

The twilight furnace and its fierce scalding power,
slipping away.. spitting resistance;
like a furious child pulled into the stern ,
soothing arms of the sea.

I am so full~
a'burst with satisfaction
solar kissed.. a burnished copper-
afloat in the colors of her heart and mine.

And to think:

parfait, my dessert~

..a cheeky dry wine
drizzled on the fruits
of daydream labors
now far and away gone;
borne in the scoop of my hungry spoon-

no real translation..
no fancy words..
only life, love and you~

The secret chatter and whisperd tumble of the sea
spoken tenderly.. and on my mind;

my thoughts:
a smeared, cream berry blue
held in status above my private infamy,
locked in the smile of my eyes.



WK - 2006

My Mind's Eye was full of your lovely images and will never forget them either.

I've said this before- Katie is an extremely lucky girl
to have you for a dad !!

This was completely saturated with beautiful sentiment
and glorious metaphors. I no sooner settle on one as
my favourite, and then I read on and find even more
breathtaking notions..

*sigh*

This is striking, hun. In a most wondrous, allegorical way.
