It is April, 2024
It is a random Sunday around 7 AM
I have been awake for a little more than an hour now
I have checked my vitals
Brain is clear, heart is good, stomach is good,
Back cracks and good, knees are injury free. Energy one million.
I am restless.
I kiss you gently, on your eyes, on your face, on your cheeks, neck, elbow and finger tip.
You have half eye open.
I ask if you are ready to have sex.
You close both eyes again and roll to other side.
I hold you.
I make a joke.
You dont laugh.
I am upset.
You tell me you havent had coffee yet.
I take the queue to get up and make coffee.
I make fresh brew.
Sky is clear, sun is round and playing hide and seek with the clouds.
Beach? Yes.
You brush your teeth and sit to have your coffee in the living room.
I bounce all over the house, cleaning, packing and organizing.
You are still sipping. Still one eye open.
I make another joke.
You give me a smile.
AHA!The power of coffee.
I take blueberries and a speaker.
I brew cold coffee for the road.
I grab your arm and pull you out.
It is 11 AM and we are on the road.
We lay down a huge towel, for both of us to share.
You look for the sun and take position.
You spoke two words.
I take a dip and come next to you.
You lay on the towel.
I lose myself looking at you.
The wind playing with your hair, your eyes are 3 degrees lighter. Your cheeks red, my snow white.
Your bra strap down, seeking the perfect tan.
Sand grains are sliding down your calves.
Your back and stomach touch each other in a perfect curve.
You ask me, am I tanned yet? Why are you so tanned? And frown your face.
I smile.
I touch your arm.
And race my fingers.
You look into my eyes and smile, from your heart.
Here you are next to me.
In my sight, out of mind.
There is peace.
There is nothingness.
There is stillness.
I long for you and me in the mundane.
