Patterns on my skin

Poetry by Dr. Terrell Neuage © 2025 Adelaide, Australia

Patterns on my skin    where you held so tight  Circles in my heart  you are always around  In-prints in the sand  where we whispered  sighs in the surf   tears shadowing our midst  kissing twilight  in the mist  Like patterns on my skin  tattoos on my mind  sapphires in our sweat  You are always here  when I dream  when I stare  when I remember  Kisses floating in the breeze  I know they are yours  by the scent      by the taste  by the touch  Patterns in our life  created and sustained  That we are  NOW that we are one. 

Patterns on my skin

where you held so tight
Circles in my heart
you are always around
In-prints in the sand
where we whispered
sighs in the surf
tears shadowing our midst
kissing twilight
in the mist
Like patterns on my skin
tattoos on my mind
sapphires in our sweat
You are always here
when I dream
when I stare
when I remember
Kisses floating in the breeze
I know they are yours
by the scent
by the taste
by the touch
Patterns in our life
created and sustained
That we are
NOW that we are one.      

August 1978 Baltimore Maryland
