... after a long time. It's a tentative beginning, but I went over some old notes and poems from quite a long time ago, and had the urge, so to speak. This is only a draft at the moment, I often amend, change lines, spacing - all sorts. The title however will be changed, when one feels right. But anyway here it is...
Somewhere, my love?
I know you, as you - I think - know me.
Sometimes when the morning throws a tumbling light
over my sheets
the imprint of your head
(it must be yours) on the white pillows
next to mine. Your light stroke
stirred me,
shoulder shivering at the touch.
At the middle of the day, under
the shade branches where sunlight
slats across, and the leaves
grow thickest -
I felt you there. Behind my sight or just
before it, your shadow for just a moment
breath playing
in that tender cleft behind my ear.
And evening, turning at my open door, everything
still, yet the honeysuckle
moved a little - it was you,
I know, brushing it aside, your hand
parting it's trembling green,
your head stooped down
closer to mine
as petals spilled,
the evening's silence
falling as always
into waiting night..
but yet, you never stepped inside.
