come back | poem
a poem for the presence and absence of love
when in presence
between us a blonde heat, rises
from the wet skin touch
of pink cheek lovers.
breathless composure, equal joy.
*
in absence, of otherness
plumes of thought drift—
spring breeze rises.
a touch of cherry blossom.
*
degrees of love
as uncountable—shingle beach.
ivy, protect the wild at heart.
*
in your absence, cobwebs cover
iron bedposts, cold infinite—
ageless, static as time.
*
white silk thoughts
about one another,
nostalgic for a single entity.
*
beyond our reach, stars fall
shoot, across galaxies.
and I wait for you, still as patience
to come back and be us.
It's the occasional wind that tumbles the potent words, and you my friend have done it! We must be ready when it tumbles us rolling with the one we love. All the best!
lots of green, red & white here. lovely
