Cherry

Tumbling through
my kitchen window –
the early morning sun
seducing
every inch of me

like a long-lost flame
springing to life...
coming back
as the prodigal one...

reminding me
of an afternoon
hanging out
after school

I was ten –
you were twelve,
and you lost
your contact lens
and I found it.

‘Magic!’ you said.
And I know
what you meant;
right there...
right that moment

would’ve given
anything
for you to lay me
gently
in your pocket...
take me home.

new Silver-Spun-Sand Well deserved cherry! Full of young love's memories. And the contact lenses. Someone I knew lost his lenses, searching,on the floor, I'd hardly knew what they looked like. julie xx

Just gorgeous, Tina, and kind of different to what you normally do. Like everyone else has said, the ending is terrific!

David - thanks so very much for reading. And yes, you are right, we do find early memories fascinating, and strangely touching. The way of the world, I guess;-) Tina
