Your face flashes
all the colors of
the sunset sky.

Your arms hold me
as close as the
ocean does.

Your kiss warms
me like the sun
warms the sand.

Your voice has
me as tightly
as California does.

You and California--in one
instant--made me
never want to leave.

I was recently in California for a Journalism Convention and I was inspired by Huntington Beach, as well as my boyfriend.
