Words shared across time
in lazy hammocks under a cloudless sky
reclining upon overstuffed divans cocooned in golden silk
perching on table’s edge
walled by leather bound volumes heavy with musk
walled by leather bound volumes heavy with musk
lounging under tree branches as shadows dance across the page
wind’s breath kissing pursed lips lost in a crowded room
standing in solitude
drifting away from prim daily obligations while haloed in sunshine
drenched in orange blossoms
absorbing thoughts and ideals
whispered dreams
escaping into ancient worlds or a lover’s arms
imagining a future sublime
