When he said...

by Beth - Scorpio

When you said to me-
in that voice that I have
only ever heard in the 
melodies of my dreams-
“Where would you take me, if we could be anywhere and everywhere?”

I smiled at you 
through the pages of a
well thumbed copy of 
<i>The Great Gatsby,</i>  
-as I thought how you were surely
Gatsby himself come to life-
“Why Darling, to the moon.”
And you teased me
your blue eyes laughing
that I only ever want the impossible,
that surrealism was stitched like
Peter Pan’s shadow
to my heel and was slowly
contaminating my every thought……

And I laughed out loud
as I took your handsome face
between my hands
kissing that pale cluster of freckles on your nose….
“I want to make moon dust angels
and up there, I can have you all to myself…..”
