Our Union

                            

My eyelashes bat

After meeting your gaze

From across a

Crowded subway haze.

 

My pupils dilate when they

Look back at you over dinner

Where we drank wine and ate.

 

My feet dance with glee as we

Fall hopelessly in love

In the midst of summer heat.

 

My heart splits apart

To become your wife

And your forever sweetheart.

 

My legs spread

Open to bare new life

And see your cheeks rosen.

 

My arms push

You away at night,

I'm too tired for a sex life.

 

My fists rage and tears pour,

When I discover your arms

Embracing another lover

After coffee one early morn.

 

My ears listen to

Your words of regret and

Pleads for a second chance

For things to be like

When we first met.

                

My fingers dial

Seeking third party counsel

To repair our shattered union.

 

My brain waves

Shift to understand your

Thoughts and your feelings, 

While I bitterly convey my own.

 

My hand re-opens

To forgive your sins

And make amends.

 

My lips part to

Receive your kiss in the

Night in a sea of

Skin in our warm bed.

 

My heart flutters,

We’ve truly become one,

Years after we bore our son.

[An owl on the moon]

What a journey love takes.. across those places of soft beauty, the desert places of despair, and back to the tranquil warmth of two. Deeply moving.

[Norma M Sutton]

This is nice.

Ups and downs and ups. I never thought you were a mediocre poet; just the opposite... But I think you're better now than when I first read from you. This poem right here...incredible... I've never had an experience where I saw life flashing before my eyes, but perhaps this is what it is like...experiencing the entire thing all at once. Outstanding work, Ms.
