treasure

a treasure ours
because we took it
but a gift no less
deserving of gratitude
waves wash over me
like gems-these moments together
waves of satisfaction
and tenderness

And another version or one inspired by the other...

the sailing can be
solitary
our moments together
are hidden gems
like pirate treasure -
ours because we took them

''An impression from tonight as told by a chocolate martini"

Shadows tonight bring a burden of an earlier time,
a slight tearful agreement to unwind ourselves
Through a bonded friendship and talk about special times
that may farther or fewer between will be no less earnest.
Perhaps my partner smells the same rose and I see the same cloud,
but the touch of her grace will be deeply missed,
the breath of her beauty will always be cherished.
I'm wanting to have met her in a differnt time, one without age or a defined culture, as youngsters in love, just one grain of sand may make it happen.
