The Very Heart of Me
Barrelling along, squealing tyres evades
disruptive thoughts carousing
through my unconscious mind
Jerk awakening, with relief, to pearlescent moon
Still there, filtering images of you, as before
Silly, happy, sad, lovingly embrace my heart
Sleepy eyed, I extend my arm to feel
nothing, empty space beside me
Gone again, where, how long, how far
Howling wind lifts the curtains you made
Their fragility reminds me of your femininity
Loving thoughts caresses imbues our souls imprint
To peel you away now terrifies
the crimped pain of losing you each eventide
Is washed clean away by the tidal surf
against the cabin steps where once
was glorified by your presence
The thrum of raindrops hitting black agate rocks
amongst the jagged seaweed tang
Recollections abounds to plumb the very depths of my feral heart
