S WEET WATER
Yasmeen Rafee
It’s this that you discover, loving them is like sweet water.

It’s the shimmer of sweat upon one’s brow, a mar ked tan line tr acing across browned skin, gentle wr inkles r unning down a plaid r ayon blouse , uner r ing war mth blooming affectionately within, lily pads lifted upon a stilled lagoon, the r ichness of the color blue my love for you is just as constant and deep
It’s droplets upon cr acked lips, the hint of a smile gleaming through night time’s bliss, sand shifting amongst the rock-silted tide , soothing kisses upon freckled cheeks, water that is tender ly sweet.
