My father always used to say to me
As a means of expressing everything just
simply
Without complex reasoning and tireless
justification
I love you more than the tallest gum tree.
You were tall, not quite 6’2
But with shoulders to rival eagles wings
At ease in the water, crisp, clear, blue
You stole me in no more than a glance.
Strong and tanned your arms caressed me
Your callused fingers brushing my alabaster
skin
Tangling my otherwise unidentifiable blonde
hair
Your eyes met mine, that devastating smile.
Every moment you took to whisper
Be mine, my electric girl, my beautiful
stranger
I’d smile a smile so broad it’s blinding
Kiss you with more passion than ever.
Time apart seems so endless
You never leave me though, not now or then
I miss you every perfect night, my angel
boy
