Five moments

(i)
this close
is a dance we once shared
your smile was a polaroid
the multicolored layers of memories
you are the one i saw in my dream
a walk that lasted forever
bliss in a blink.

(ii)
the water is wild
crazy like the shiny kid
like the kid at the fireworks
this will all work
time is an illusion
everything is happening
this moment and the next
your smile still gets me.

(iii)
if we dine
it should be more than this
the frequency of meals
spread out over the years
makes me happy that it is
not as it has been.

(iv)
the mountains are the stanzas
as the trees are the words that rhyme
in time they all grow higher
and in time they all dance together
the wind is the music of nature
and i see the world
reflected in your eyes
more beautiful than it was unfiltered.

(v)
your stories -
i could listen to them forever.

reflections

the reflections are a constant
they dance in the stream that we follow
they sing like the birds that are here
as i stare into the stars
as i glare into the dark
as i close my eyes
and smile.

the swaying heads
they parade
like the ants we once
saw as we shared a sandwich
you had the stain of blueberry jam
on the collar of your shirt
that matched your flower print skirt
that matched your dark blue dancing shoes.

i wish it was so
like the way i thought so
but even rhyme doesn't reason
reasonably sometimes.

the reflections are a constant
they flutter in the stream that we follow
they sing like the birds that are here
the same birds that built that nest
the same spot we used to dance
as we stared into the stars
as we glared into the dark
as we closed our eyes
and smile.
