Corridors of sunflowers

Driving about 80
through corridors of
sunflowers grown wild
and pastures ungrazed.

I smile to myself,
able to capture a small
moment to experience
the great outdoors.
Seated in my car
but at least I have the windows down.
Blue burn

It may be likely that
we never lay eyes upon
each other again
or the way we did
when we consumed ourselves
in the heat of the moment.

I can still think of
you and remember
the good burn you left with me.

Like indigo, you seeped
in me, slowly turning blue,
inked into my skin,
while fading over time,
you'll have left your mark.

I think of you and I'm
so refreshed with life's vigor.
I can still remember the first time
I saw you throw a smile toward my direction.

When you finally were in my arms,
I felt that same marvel of wonder
I did when I first experienced peripheral vision.

Times change. Prescriptions change,
but memories of you will
still never leave the sight
of my memories, the vision of my life.
