Healing

It was so very long ago I remember falling in love with you. we were just teenagers. The day was summer blue I was sat on the dock feet in the lakes cool waters the lake was blue. Your eyes were China blue. I was black and blue. Stepfathers are not always kind. But you knew …you knew. You said nothing just put your arm around me. I can still feel your too blonde hair falling on my bare shoulders as I fought back the tears. Your eyes so blue like pools looked into mine and you kissed my forehead. I needed to speak in beautiful loving poetry to you but I was silent. my confidence drained My poetry faded from my beatings. But you held my head to your small breast. and whispered hush hush it will be alright you have me you will always have me. You healed my wounded life brought me love and happiness gave me a home that one nature intended.. You are the fruit of life that I bite into every day to drink the juices of its sweetness.
