Memory Of an Afternoon

Blue Jays fluttered past like memories 
Which neither keep still nor run away
Deepened greys of that shadowed afternoon 
revealed what's to happen with the 
melted day's shape, sounds and textures 

Time-lapsed moments playout in slow motion
My voice and your story, or was it the other way
The afternoon sun flirted with our penchant for pain
Fitful tears paid homage to sheer joy of togetherness

Rolling back an upside down hill of all forty years
Tracing sharpened wounds and hardened scars
With warm mouths and  hungry glances
A man and a woman, behind all masks

Two non- swimmers, foolish, mad
Explored an ocean of loneliness 
Seated on a fast boat under the stars 
Far away, where senses transcend reason
