I tried for love, failed every time turning over rocks and logs; even came up with some cute frogs and a couple of damn fine dogs. In the end they were part-time pets and we were all wounded strays.
This year I found you, after a lifetime of straying, how do I keep a man of my own and do I really want to?
Sometimes no, somehow always yes; I want to learn, if he'll teach me.
Deep and true; check. Never this good before; check. Longing if we're apart; check, check. Can we love each other; an infinity of checks.
If we fight I become a ghost and haunt our home til he returns, erasing the burden, the cobwebbed dream I've been living. Feeding on his feast I welcome him in again.
In the curve of his palm I rest my heart, with his touch my spirit calms to tranquility, and I am whole once more.
