Refined Love
REFINED LOVE
My mother cossets me in her arms,
I feel her heartbeat, call rehearsed -
The heartache and absent charms,
The drama of my spouse conversed.
Beloved, by my bed, asleep in chair -
Before, after, and in between,
I cling to you for wont of care.
On your shining armor I lean.
My daughter’s visit...we are close.
The pain radiates from my chest.
Comfort of eyes and speech compose.
But it’s in my prince’s arms of rest,
Where i bury all my sorrows and fears.
Fearsome in his loyalty and compassion,
United by our wedlock, in oneness, he hears.
All drama clears, replaced by undying passion.
We all have heard, how opposites attract.
Our bent cookie cutter pieces, form one heart.
Imperfect, our love sweet, in conterminous fact.
Hellfire entanglements, try and fail, to keep us apart.
Love sparked in our hearts at first light.
We rekindle the spark, stoked by absence
Of malice, forgiveness, a lingering fight
To stay in touch - to titillate unguarded sense.
In the marriage bed all things reset.
We climb into each other’s suits.
Lingering doubts and spats, we forget.
The aromatics of our love spring new shoots.
