I Remembered Yesterday
by jsenn

A smile slipped softly across
my face several times today.

Each time, I remembered...

I remembered yesterday.
It rained all day long
and we watched the world
slowly vanish in a crystal
view of water washing
across the window pane.

I remembered making love
in sweet seclusion, silence
kissed by silken movements
our hands in rhythm to the
motion of the water.

I remembered thunder
rumbling in the distance
and our laughter filling
the room as passion
became exhilaration.

I remembered the first
time, that tender moment
encircled by your arms,
surprised by my emotions
which have become oh, so
satisfying.

--- and ---

I remembered words.
Yours. They mixed with
the raindrops, some
slow and soft, some
intense and pelting.
I felt them dance as
sea mist swirling
twilight across my
body, playful, elegant,
powerful,

and a smile slips softly
across my face.
