Stranger's Delight
I know we do not know each other from Adam,
But I do not care, for there is always Eve.
She would be perfect to introduce to you,
A young lady like me.
You know, I have been wondering
Late into the night
What kind of
Tea you like to drink
Is it Oolong in the morning? Jasmine in the day?
and in the late hours, Green?
I bet your hair smells like ocean water,
and your skin taste like sand and the extract of
Vanilla Bean
Maybe it is just me imagining things
but it is hard not to dream
in between shifts I watch you speak,
I know I am a fool to admire, but you make me meek
So extremely easy
to remember your words, your
waterfall of vocabulary
I cherish every syllable your voice carries
Sound waves a brisk hello
thru the Atlantic and into my
tantric prayers,
Meditation I hope you hear when you sleep
I know we are strangers, but if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul You take.
