Amongst all the
Creatures the galaxies
The planets the
People amongst the
Eons the chances
That we’d meet
Is small the
Likelihood that we’d
Like each other
Is smaller the
Idea that we’d
Kiss tinier still
This idea that
We’d love each
Other is so
Rare that by
Happenstance it shouldn’t
Happen so what
Are we we’re
The difference that
Only life makes
Purely simply divine
And in my
Sleep it came
Carried on the
Wings of angels
Insight and rest
It bathed me
In understanding like
A warm robe
After cool bath
We’re friends friends
That love kiss
And enjoy each
Others company we
Are tending each
Other like plants
Watering and pruning
Watching the other
Grow and Blossom
There’s no label
Or expectation simply
The knowledge that
We’re in each
Others lives and
This brings joy
Any word will
Do when you
Speak it it’s
Not the word
But how you
Form it words
Come and words
Go but oh
That smile when
Saying it has
Burned into memory
Like a brand
Like you have
Images captured in
Photographs I have
People captured in
Words you create
A moment while
I paint with
A broad brush
Both of us
Creating someone yet
Unseen for others
Then to see
Come let us
Dance in creativity
Opening eyes to
What only we
See
Asleep you are
An ebony cat
Curled beneath dove
Gray linen which
Has twisted itself
Around you like
Silver crawling Ivy
I’ve excused myself
For coffee and
Words letting you
Sleep once I’ve
Expressed myself I
Shall crawl beside
You wrapping myself
Around like philo
Dough creating a
Puff pastry with
You as the
Creamy chocolate filling
