And finally in
Silence after months
Of noisy explosions
Come mouse whispers
Whistles in the
Dark that only
The open can
Hear love is
A cacophony of
Sound and only
When it’s over
Can you even
Imagine hearing something
As delicate as
A voice in the
Dark you are
So handsome and
With me now
You’re right mouse
I am here
Here with you
Sometimes all it
Takes is one
One touch one
Hello one smile
And one kiss
That one that
Very first one
Of anything is
The hardest to
Achieve but when
That one topples
The rest cascade
Like dominoes be
Generous with one
And soon many
More ones follow
So he was
Beside me and
We laughed and
Kissed and joked
About life it
Wasn’t as important
As whom but
What we melded
Like iron and
Fire simply creation
It is often
The ghost of
What once was
That haunts us
Not the who
Is right now
It’s very difficult
To see someone
As they are
Rather than what
They were so
Long ago when
You first met
Memory tends to
Favor the past
At last finally
When I close
My eyes it’s
Simply black and
Peaceful no more
Smiling memories or
Laughter I’m alone
With my empty
Mind no longer
Thinking about you
For now not
Only are you
Gone but you’re
Gone from me
