A Permanent Embrace
Somewhere, in some deep forest glade
where dappled pools of light did shade
He found her waiting patiently, but oh’
so very naked …………………………………..
And though quite shocked, to find her
thus ..
He knelt to kiss where those blue veins
did form
a perfect cross, in the hollow of her
ankle …………………………………………………
Yes … twas there with gold leaves falling
all around ..
Like snow in sudden winter forming
each a pillow, sheet, a quilt and shroud
That’s precisely
where they lay till morning, undiscovered
still and proud …………………………………….
Until the thaw of spring that is .. and they
were then each
Subsequently found, beneath a swollen
hedgerow somewhere
Locked in their permanent embrace ……..
