we made the customary
days into tangerine sky over the marina
when we sailed away on your birthday
I gifted you with
summer kisses
wet with rain
you came back
purring with nights bursting of fireflies
there were no roses & chocolates
but pebbles & seashells carefully picked & bottled
what can i give you
of our times together
but chains
silk velvet, fingered by mistress moon
but words lashing
your skin restless, swelling with longing
over the years
our distance stole your memories, ebbing with tides
but i am cursed with perfect one
defying time's savage currents
every summer,
i recall your kisses when
rain
