ella
blue eyes never a more welcome sight, my God. I shake
and almost cry
and we hold each other like tomorrow is an illusion
she’s warm, tan from home on the lip of the beach. I love her
more than when she left, somehow
more than my mind can seem to understand
for hours our arms press together for no reason other than energy
that only we seem to share
that I think is borne from heaven’s fingertips
she wants to meet my friends, she says. I tell her my new name and
she says it’s meant to be
she understands everything I tell her
by some miracle, we are still the same people. After two trips around
the sun, our laughs sound the same and
the sun retained its happy glow
by some miracle, she’s here.

so beautiful and full of life!
Warm and passionate! I like the way you are using form to accentuate your repetition. I like your new name too!
Thank you so much! 🙂
