Captain

One foot in front 
of the other
a sexy aloof 
sway of the hips
purposely oblivious 
to watching eyes
entranced by the sounds 
that surround 
Atlantic breeze 
always makes 
the heart skip a beat
passion still flows -
A smile appears as corners 
turn up on glossy full lips
simple thought sings silently
when out of the blue
4” stiletto gets stuck 
random spaces between
floating dock on top 
of a restless sea
throwing off the perfection
of a seductive stride
sweet sound 12 bar riff
the only vibration 
that echos bouncing 
from mast to mast
obscene ranting 
of frustration
pick up the pieces 
dust them off 
take another step
a bit more aware 
of what lie ahead
go against the grain
blow caution to the wind 
one last act of defiance
step on board 
a swaying 40 footer
heels in hand
exposing a subtle
amount of long legs
a left hand salute
questioning eyes
“Permission to come a board, Captain?”

Wonder About You

Gentle motion 
sway 
your eyes reach 
across 
the distance and time 
remain the same
for me...
I often wonder about you
I often dream about you
never completely
sub-level mind
bend
unable to 
let go
...of
long talks
hand in hand 
slow walk 
from your car 
to mine
dock side 
harbor lights 
soften the moments
still frame 
halo glow 
surrounds 
that first kiss 
tender words 
spoken
your  fingers 
entwined
with mine
you turn
smile wide
looking back
I never truly walked 
away
time...and 
circumstance 
the depth 
of our romance
we will never know

...too often I wonder about you, dream about you
