Small Pleasures

 

SMALL PLEASURES

-a small poem-

Long summer rains and you,
Lazy smiles over steaming cups
Words stumbling carelessly
between gaps in rumbles,
Thoughtless and free.

A soft caress,
A dew from your cheeks,
Your freckles like scattered stars,
Stolen from night sky. 
Flashes of lightning,
Flashes of colour,
A soft blush like a rose in bloom
Lightning reflected on glossy eyes
Sparks glistening in your hazy gaze. 

Long summer rains 
You and me
An orchestra of rain drops 
On concrete walls,
A melody running through the drains 
Dripping tune by tune onto our balcony floors.

Long summer nights and us.
