January 2010.
My quiet one besotted with sleep
curled and safely snug
through this Winter he makes no sound
in dreams of slumber,
as painful as this time for me
he camouflages 'neath cosy cover,
gentle soft in quiet ways
to waste away these snowy days,
no trouble or requests he makes
just smiles and very slow of pace
dark eyes tired has he
with legs that will not set him free,
with legs that will not set him free,
these stormy shadows cast on weathered heart
I see it all... no blindfold for me.
Purple days that dwindle by
jagged and shredded that makes heart cry,
my quiet one content and free!
Lover of mine where art thee?

Dear Susie -- I remember a poem once written long ago about "my lover comes to me in dreams" which was brought to mind in reading this enigmatic and heart-tugging poem of yours... in sleep you are together as there is no gravity to hold you apart... my thoughts are with both of you.
