And then like
A letter you
Promised you slipped
Back into life
Tickling like a
Pair of pants
That once fit
I once again
Wore you like
A beard outgrown
I’ve learned to
Trim to see
Myself beneath the
Hair you are
You’re not my
All I am
You’re simply here
For a while
For as long
As I want
And not you
I know that
You haven’t forgotten
Me
Neither have I
You
And that’s what
We have been
Me and you
And those things
Simply makes us
You me us
Oh and as
I hear Heaven’s
Lullabies whispering into
My ears I
Drift off nestled
Like hatchlings atop
Some far off
Tree safe from
The world below
Until I hear
A heart beat
Beating softly realizing
That it’s yours
You sit in
Front of me
My own one
Cup of coffee
Anticipated and steamy
Intoxicating and awakening
I warm my
Hands around you
I sip you
Slowly savoring you
Your robustness and
Slight bitterness as
You cascade down
My throat and
Into my heart
You my love
Warm me each
Morning from the
Inside out making
Me smile then
A home cooked
Meal after a
Long journey you
Are to me
Robust warm and
Filling tasty savory
And filling welcomed
Hearty and satisfying
Always desired rarely
Enjoyed paired with
The wine of
Us we sit
And enjoy nightly
The meal that
We are together
