A love in verse

In the Day

Dear, the night’s long gone, the moon’s 

A refugee, the sun’s about

These many hours to come. 


Yet we’re together almost-doors

Thrown open – almost I may hear

Your breathing, you (not quite) my scribbling

And that’s unusual; day’s start and end

Are when we meet – how happy I

To see your radiance in the day’s.

The day shines and your eyes shine and these lights

Combine to show the planet at its best.

Life

Our white-walled houses facing west

Catch the sunset’s final glow

Dusk forms in branches as I mow...

Away

I passionately long to stand, hands in the bowl

Washing up, looking out onto our sunlit garden.

I long to see a cat move sleepily and pause
