Intensity startled blueness
Reflecting the sea back at me
Diamond bright
You told me
I believed
Beads of sweat
Slide down
Rivers running between my fingers
Drinking cold beer
Smoking Turkish cigarettes
Jet lag exhaustion
Stretches across my eyes
If only I could sleep in the afternoon
But there is too much to see
So many things I want to do
You talk too fast
I lose every other word
Agree to anything nodding my head
Giddy from the heat, beer and lack of sleep
Holding onto you
We fly through the streets
My hair caught in a tornado of sorts
You take me to the beach
Cool water splashes up to my knees
You dare me to dive in
I fall backwards into the water
We have already committed the sin

Handle on the Sun

Intensity startled blueness
Reflecting the sea back at me
Diamond bright
You told me

Rivers running between my fingers

If only I could sleep in the afternoon
But there is too much to see

From title to last line, you always grab hold of me and take me along on your poetic rides. You are, simply, the best at the free verse in my opinion.

Roses for my Diasy,
