Lost in Azure (new day)

Lost in Azure
(new day)

•

across the way
last night’s rain puddles
amidst the chaos of construction
trapped on-site

as if abandoned
by the waters of earth
it erodes its way to the culvert
in search of mother sea

this new day begins
dewy and crisp

bird songs echo empty sunrise streets

lover and beloved
we sit by the morning window
with tea and curiosity

we talk

in this moment
our souls spill
one into the other

until I am distracted

your lips continue sculpting words
but I’ve fallen into your deep eyes

…

Hey Rob. Are you sure this wasn’t ripped from the lyrics of a Nine Inch Nails song?

LOL — Nope, sorry… only me.

I wrote this last summer, for presentation at a creative writing symposium, to which I was invited — held at Marylhurst University.

I’m 60 years old and listen to jazz. I wouldn’t know a nine inch nail if I stepped on one. 😉

I like the way you bring life to nature in your description of the morning scene. Even better linking to the presence of the loving kind. Great Post!

What a beautiful ending to this poem.

“your lips continue sculpting words
but I’ve fallen into your deep eyes”

Takes you to a completely different dimension of what the speaker is thinking and feeling.

It was fun working to get that line of the poem. It conjured many memories for me of crisp bright mornings, streets wet from last night’s rain, bird song everywhere… 😉

With eyes like those, who wouldn’t be drawn in!!
