Sunday Morning |
I arrived late(r than usual)
after the annual steam train and
bank holiday weekend
traffic of tourists
we sat at a café table in the corner
top floor, as I requested. You talked; I listened
with warming heart and disposition
elevated aeons from insignificance
I was moved to feel you in a new light
feel a new vibrance caressing
my vulnerable skin
and who would have thought the day
would be more than lunch –
sandwich- and cappuccino-talk
or toast, as it were
something of an evolution
of words, myself, time; and
you were always nearby – a gem
concealed in a familiar crowd
given the chance, there was a spark connection
and you don’t know, but that morning
I watched you sleep, so beautifully
and suspect you may have, also
your scent better than a promised best breakfast
and perhaps the bed was not the source
of such peaceful bliss and comfort –
the couch likewise, where we vanished
in each other in one breath
special warmth of anticipation:
when will I next see you? Feelings
transcend this page, explanation.
too much, too soon? Only time
reserves the answer
either way, we share this poem
so we can remember
sunday morning
forever
