“The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.”
~ Abraham Lincoln

Give me one day...

A day
where sunrise melts your kiss
into my own

A day
where noon melds blooms of bliss
with flesh and bone

A day
where dusk lights sunset’s pledge
with flares of gold

A day
where jasmine scents night’s edge
with vows untold

A day
where twilight’s spangled stars
dust moonlit eyes

A day
whose close won’t leave the scars
of love’s goodbyes.

The marriage of photography and poetry is wonderful. I love the complexity of simple lines with strong imagery. Evocative.
