The Girl With Ocean Eyes

A spiced-rum girl with ocean eyes
big-bellied sailboats and osprey cries
the climbing sun in full splendor
but foolishly I did not surrender.

I had promising places to be.
My spiced-rum girl would wait for me.

The osprey and big bellied boats gone
all my assumptions of the future wrong
pink fingers release a sinking sun.
Girls with ocean eyes wait for no one.

    So true, and so beautifully captured in this poem. But perhaps raise your eyes, scan the horizon: a grey-eyed cloud, or a sparkling night sky might bring the warmth you need at this point in your life.*

    *Note to self on opportunities lost. 😉
