It Was All About the Sheets

I remember organdy curtains swaying Over our old double bed, Made up with sheets fresh from the line, Full of the perfumes of fresh air and ivory. I remember the puff pillows, a wedding present, White with cases like the sheets where I laid my head close to your own When we decided to sleep. I remember the little clock radio, Its news starting your day, I made you a cup of coffee and eggs And sent you on your way. You, you left me with my solitude, Filled with memories of the night. Of organdy curtains swaying; But it was all about the sheets.

Little things bring storms of rain from early befriended pains and, to me, little things turn bittersweet as more time leave so much behind. This is tender, sweet and touching. Me thinks you are a feeler! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Hello Sunlite, Thanks for your recent comments on a couple of my poems. The metaphor you've developed here in your verse "It Was All About the Sheets" is very well-done, and a wonderful pleasure to read. Best Wishes, Gary
