Sunday 10 December 2023

The door opens; is opened

Always with a surprise

Always afraid

Of whatever is on the dark side


Inlaid, ingrained, only a slow release

Only daily therapy

Above and below the stairs


Your head rests

Beset with treasure

I hold your hand


No complicated words

Overheard

She whispers I love you


Comforted by her presence

Her perfume, her soft fabrics

Worn over even softer skin


Always I surmise

Always ably laid

To raise my love life


Waylaid, unstained, forever at peace

Laid back by the heresy

Love is aglow for what she cares
