Daydream

I found a heart shaped bruise today
It reminded me of you
I bruise more easily as I age
Thanks to potions that keep
Me here away from you

For I age and you do not
Your lovely face and loving spirit
Always In my thoughts and dreams
The youthful vigorous caring you
Suspended in time and space

As I grow old with memories
that blur with age and share
My borderlands of dreams
And waking thoughts

I discover you there in the corners
Of my consciousness
A wondrous joyous finding on
An aimless wander
through my cluttered dusty halls

Whilst on that haphazard trek
As I hear life's music
Surround me in its wonder
I find intimacy and comfort
Knowing that you
Must somehow hear it too

To me, this is a fine companion piece to Ashe's I Have Slept with You.

This piece is so good. I am sure they can hear the life's music you created together. For that is what life is, a vibration of experience resounding through time. Thanks for a great read.

This is lovely Joe, as I too age and things become a little dusty, there are those lovely snippets that suddenly come to me - this made me sigh and think and recall from those deep recesses I hold dear in my heart

I can't remember when I have been so affected by a poem . . . what could be simply sad in another's hand is instead profoundly uplifting, loss yes but more than that gratitude, a sense of grace given and received, the knowing that love is not ended by separation but goes on, both here and in whatever comes next. This seems a perfect balance between what is said and what is left unsaid yet still heard, each in our own way.

Perfect.
Lovely romantic write.
So generous and loving it touches the heart with its beauty.
One of the most moving poems that I have read in a long time.
