My Girl (Recitation)

My Girl
by MWctn

Far from the shorn lawn
that scratches my back
July-born breezes brushing
cool upon my cheek
her catholic life
in cloistered circle
of the ones who know her
as sister and as daughter
she moves her hand without
thought across her forehead
pushing wispy hairs that
stray upon her nose away
smiling slightly tickled
and shivers her mouth parted
teeth thinly veiled
full lips reveal
the words she speaks
for me
the love there in her arms
and in her heart
I have them both encircled
on my green-speared bed
searching for the arcing
treading Echo glancing swiftly
past the farther stars and night
the time and myth of dreams
fall softly to my breast
and sighted there with me
she breathes and leaves and rests
the better thing of what I see
the cosmos playing moonbeams
in her eyes
the universe of us.
