A
blanket for you
My arms
around you
A
moment of love
My tight
hug
I
caress your forehead and tell you I love you
You
look at me and smile
Your
smile has words
Words
that my heart could hear
Your
eyes twinkle gathering my answer
For
you can’t talk my love
But your
words do
For
you can’t hear my love
Your heart does
As
we sit at the window
Looking
at the sunset
I
look at the sky
Wanting
to pray for you; for me
My
head gives me a long list
A
long list to ask for
Lot
of wrongs to pray for
But I
couldn’t
My heart
tells me it feels complete
I
look at you and feel content
You
kiss me back and I feel touched
My
tears are flashes of joy
I
shut my eyes and continue to dream
Dream
of my blanket around you forever
In
hope of my life like this with you forever

This is how it happens for me often.
Your piece reminded me of sitting bedside with my grandmother. Palpable. Thank you.

DeleteLove the rhythm the poem has, like a ballad on a cool night, sung in company.
ReplyDeleteSeanbidd thanks so much :)
DeleteThis reminds me of the times when my boys were babies. Love doesn't need to be spoken in order to be felt deeply. Thanks for your wonderful, heartfelt contribution.
