Notes About The Poem

Anything Goes On a Sunday

As I claim my own parcel of solitude
from yesterday's banging boom,
I see heaven expanding through you
in me: fireflies  glow  rare as Sunday’s bliss,
never mind if there is a call for patience
when holy hours rise upon the lines of your mouth;
resting on the ledge of a private oasis.
This I cannot enter... the night curfew drifts
gently and quietly yet  full of love's spaces;
O the  hush of your mouth tender as harp's rhythm
I want to kiss.
        
     My parcel of quietude becomes yours
while we listen to the same monastic silence,
gazing at clouds alone and  together
until we rest lovingly inside our gentle, holy world.

Into near midnight with eyes closed, we slumber    and then...
