WATCHING YOU

By dot

 

Watching you, always, from afar
Aloof, distant, impeccably controlled
Lost in routine and responsibility
Tanned skin, broad-set shoulders
Eloquent silences and guarded eyes
Revealing so little of who you are

Secrets set free in the lamp-glow of evening
Kisses of unsuspected sweetness
I bury myself inside you, gasping, crying
No-one but you, my love! No-one but you!
Night falls on two entwined as one
Everything in the world now set aright
Reborn in your rare smile and your embrace
