February 14th

Looking at the sky today,

I can't decide the exact colour .

My eyes move  around

looking for diamonds

and tendrils of smoke rising from

a distant chimney.

I am loving these lighter days

and the fog cloaked mornings as I drive to work,

thinking of you.

Sitting at the traffic lights

waiting for

red to             amber                  then green

I momentarily close my eyes

against the light

feeling the memories of you

warm,

warm against my skin
