YOU REMIND ME



You remind me
Of water splashing against my shins
Lapping over my ankles,
Warm and cool, as the sun and water touch me.
Warm on my lips and face,
Like your tongue as it licks a heated path over my skin,
Cool on my toes as they burrow into the sand,
Like your fingers on my heated skin.
You remind me of water and sunlight
Even if I haven't seen the two together in so long.

You remind me
Of fresh cut grass in the spring,
Soft and green and full of life,
Tickling the back of my neck
As you lie atop me, pressing me down
Into the ground, you, full of life, above me.
Dirt and green, full of life, beneath me
And the force that drives life, through the dirt,
Through the grass, through me into you
Reminds me of you, though long it's been since I've smelled new grass.

You remind me
Of life, like water rushing up to the sand,
Like grass roots reaching down into the dirt,
Like sunlight pouring down onto land and sea,
Like the life force reminds me of you.
And even though I, in this dry wasteland,
Have only the memory of the soft feel of grass on my skin
Or the cool wash of water over my lips
Or the comfort of your body pressed close to mine,
I am every day reminded of you.
