Paradise and Blue Sky

For my two loyal readers, some stuff to tide you over until Friday. I'll be out of town visiting the windy city for work...I'm trying to expand the subjects of my writing, so the first poem is for my best friend and the plans we made. When we're rich, well, we'll see if we follow through with them. Have a good week :)

Paradise Plan

We made a plan you and I
Sun and sky and sea
millions to spend and share
days pass lazily as the clouds drift

We designed a pink house, you and I
With chefs and maids and all
We’d hang out on the beach and write
days pass lazily as the sun fades

We said we be philanthropists
We’d give to those in need
We’d hobnob and be famous
days pass lazily as the waves crash

We figured we’d never tire of it
We’d find passion along the way
tan men and muscles walking past
days pass lazily as the wind blows

We made a plan you and I
a dream, a wish, a longing
we laughed and schemed and laughed some more
days pass quickly as the world speeds by

Blue Sky

Blue sky
Do you see it?
Hot ball of fire in the distance
She reaches for it
Higher and higher she flies
A world of swirling dreams below her
An ideal life
Captured in scattered images
Of movies, songs, pages of books

Red lips
Can you touch them?
Hot ball of fire raging in her body
She reaches for it
Higher and higher she flies
A haze of swirling images surrounds her
A moment of hunger and passion
Captured inside her mind

Hard body
Can you feel it?
Hot ball of lust burning between them
They ache for it
Faster and faster they move
The faces of one another swimming before them
A moment fulfilled

Blue sky
Red lips
Hard body
All so distantly near
Yet never close enough.
