Severus Alexander

24 February 2017

on a trellis curled over branches

thinning, plucked by him and given to me

I caressed, and wondered something shyly

long was lost in thought of past romances

drawn to memories of our shared glances

In the garden I had dreamt, wistfully 

of him with whom I would together be

And settled, wishing for deeper trances

 

You are beside me here, in this that place

Woven of our closeness, gathered in sleep

On dewey grass, you are so near to me

I watch the stars, and comfort in your weight
