A poemy short story

dean langmuir

I live with my lover

in luscious conditions

and a mongoose called Many

for good reasons

A palm tree

shades the couch

on our porch

Our delight is the rhyme

of the sea

As for me

I come from a country of four distinct seasons

each bringing new flavour to life

As for him

he has not yet seen

nor felt snow beneath his feet

or the retreat of summer into fall

nor blossomings

that happen once a year

that remind to be grateful that near

is the essence of change

We will live both lives

We will arrange this to be true

    This is some top-notch poetry, Dean!!!

    I am literally swallowed by your words and I can't help but feel engulfed in this world that you painted.

    This is my new gay love song on repeat!!!

    "We will live both lives
    We will arrange this to be true"

    AHHHH, my Lord, your words are literally so graceful.

    I love this contrast between yourself and your lover. Whilst you seem to be seasoned in all things climatic and tropical, your lover has "not yet seen / nor felt snow beneath his feet / or the retreat of summer into fall."

    It's like you are depicting yourself as a medium through which your lover can gain new knowledge and insight.

    Thank you for this poem dear poet.
