Getting way
past supper time.
You arrive at last
looking sorry,
but you need not be.
I kept your plate warm.
I could wait for you
an eternity,
as long as it ends
with me by your side.
A long day it was.
Now I fed you
and you feel fine
and that fills the house.
Witness of our bliss,
Turquoise reigns.
Color of the valley jewel,
bred by the bathing star.
After she milked him
She told him there was no cookie left
Frustrated after his long night shift
He shove the tree up the chemney
The sap boiled and dripped
and the house blazed up in smoke
They with it were consumed
They were husband and wife I presume
It is dark and your eyes are closed
You cannot see my bedtime smile
but in the warmth of my soft scent
you inhale what I earn to say
My voice fills your tired body
Your heart floods your consenting mind
with the loving verses of life
Such is a much busy dreamy night
When the sun is gone
and my love lies down
the time is right and
I am up for contemplation
As I scrutinize my eyelids
from within my captive mind
moire and darken mauves
soothe my cuddled soul
A hand resting on my side
another nesting in mine
I see beyond dreams’ landings
capture the truth in Lalaland
From your sweet lie
I draw a poem
and in your palm
I let it lie
