Young Lovers

Secretly 
we meet as separate, boy and girl
but take each other’s hand for company
and together in our own world 
forget
their world which has split us, violently 
we tarry a while, for our regret
is felt both deeply and silently

to give up our child before our prime
when all we wanted was decency
all we needed was more time 
to be a family and only
to be with each other as three together
instead of separate and lonely

lovers
a contradiction 

the joyful anticipation of time spent together is heightened by the inevitability of separation
whether one waits for the other to arrive or the timing is perfect
buoyant hearts rush to the coming

the anticipation of separation casts a shadow over time spent together
time to dread and then watch the leaving
heavy hearts drag at the going

both will love and hate the preoccupying delirium of the in between

lovers
linger and pine long

Lover’s touch

The curve and swing of shapely hip 
Inclines my eye to stray aslip 
Invites a touch a lover’s grip 
That pulls you in for ear lobe nip
 
My hand upon your rising chest
Tells me how deep you are at rest
The rate and depth of rise and fall
Is enough to tell a lover all
  
The fingertips that stroke my back 
Are fingertips with lover’s knack 
For tantalising or powerful pressure 
To change a mood for love or leisure  

My lips upon your upraised mouth
As tongues flicker lightly about
Full and soft moist and wet
I cannot forgo I’ll ne’er forget

The foot that strokes my leg in bed 
Before we sleep each night has said 
With this caress I love you each night 
A touch confirming love’s delight

The cheek that absorbs teardrops weight
Is the cheek I brush for comfort’s sake
At the pleasure of our love’s great joy
At grief’s sadness when loss employs
