Looking Back Long, Hard and Slow

just a few recollections reflected upon ..

                               Even now, when I think back, long and hard and look close enough
                                                I can still, just make out, each gentle rise and the
                                      subsequent fall of those sun-kissed undulations of hers ..

                                 As she did then shift, upon eventually waking, beneath each of
                                     our cool off-white cotton sheets, those she acquired from
                           a stall on a market, in Egypt all those long, hot and crazy summers ago

                               Indeed, as welcome today, as was then, and as seemingly new
                        as seen through a handful of light, casually plucked from an otherwise
                           ploughed desert sky, as surely and true, as the love we once shared ..

Oh my goodness gracious me Nev this had me welling up! Truly beautiful. Your love for her radiates through your memory and delicately plucked words. Her grace is etched with your attentiveness to never let go of her beauty and light. Which shines in copious  amounts here my friend. Just stunning
