About This Poem
Ten Years
Ten years to go he told me so
But that was last May wasn't it
Though my heart still beats all the while
Still the blood rushes up from down below
And I get sweaty and can not speak as though
It were yesterday he touched me so sweet
I felt safe and secure with him like inside a womb
I watched for him over long days on end
Though I could not see for the earth did not move
I thought I saw a glimpse of him
Moving towards me
But that was ten years ago
They told me so
