With a shot of pain, aching through another sickening migraine,
You have lain beneath the vision I had,
but learn I have to see you in a new light hitherto unknown-
you're animal, poacher, seducer, cursed
with 'you-are-me' eyes, drawn in black ink...
growling, loving, soothing voice seeking my mother tongue
as I sought refuge in yours
rain thundering hard above us
in garden-green coloured decaying shelter
you upon my knee - and escaping nowhere was our empathy
raindrops sneaking through cracked Victorian slate
onto your cheek, and where our lips did meet
my coat, my hood, your wet, long jet black hair...
our time, our embrace, our bodies entwined
your koi-patterned top, you allowed to drop
there it fell, along with the rain and our love.
