The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

Once upon a time,
Time stood still. 
I kissed you,
And the color in my face 
Washed away. 

I came ashore on your beach,
Sun radiant, clouds clear,
Wind bustling, sand crunching,
And lay under your tree shade, 
Unaware of time or space. 

Why would anyone come
To rescue me here,
A cast away?

I think I’ll stay.
