[hometext] => slightly revised from an earlier work - my daughter Katie and I, having spent the day at the beach~ ..Happy Father's Day to ALL the dads out there!
[bodytext] => ..for Katie
The day died-
it's twilight pastel parfait
as delicious in demise
as it's delicate key lime dawn.
Cranberry relish over streaks of marmalade
the candy coated sweetness of all my joy~
popsicle blue beneath a mulberry syrup
stretching out to the sugar spackled sea dawn sky!
The perfection of THIS DAY
as the surf crashes.. "liquid cotton"
like crystal crushed lemon slush-
It makes my heart smile through the soles of my feet!
Kissed by the sun..
and I drug my way through scalloped ridges,
a warming wash of ivory sand.
Strolling at sunset
I stopped in reverence - an inner snapshot:
"sniiick-clishhh"
quiet awe-
The twilight furnace and its fierce scalding power,
slipping away.. spitting resistance;
like a furious child pulled into the stern ,
soothing arms of the sea.
I am so full~
a'burst with satisfaction
solar kissed.. a burnished copper-
afloat in the colors of her heart and mine.
And to think:
parfait, my dessert~
..a cheeky dry wine
drizzled on the fruits
of daydream labors
now far and away gone;
borne in the scoop of my hungry spoon-
no real translation..
no fancy words..
only life, love and you~
The secret chatter and whisperd tumble of the sea
spoken tenderly.. and on my mind;
my thoughts:
a smeared, cream berry blue
held in status above my private infamy,
locked in the smile of my eyes.

I've said this before- Katie is an extremely lucky girl
to have you for a dad !!
This was completely saturated with beautiful sentiment
and glorious metaphors. I no sooner settle on one as
my favourite, and then I read on and find even more
breathtaking notions..
*sigh*
This is striking, hun. In a most wondrous, allegorical way.
