Off the Coast of Love

When the divine beauty of life takes a person over

My wife tells me
I should pay more attention to details,
the house, the car, the lawn,
there’s a thousand things by sunset
that need to be done.
She’s right, of course,
it’s true.
If only I wasn’t floating
three feet off the ground today,
caught in the updraft
of a single gaze from you,
spinning like a thousand cyclones,
off the coast of love.
