To J (2007)

I wrote this 12 months ago after the Sipadan trip. I still like it.


To J

She charms me so...
How?

Is it her scent?
Perhaps.

The nearness of her fine tanned body?
Could be.

Her presence as she is next to me?
Quite likely.

Her walk as her sarong embraces her graceful hips?
Hmm... Probably.

Her smile when she looks at me playfully?
Yes, indeed Most definitely.
