Now Out in The Open

we once used to reside
and make love in ..
When out of the blue
I recalled
from the platform how
much I always enjoyed
the smell
of coal burning
and the warm breath
of steam rising,
as it unashamedly kissed
me the very
same insane moment,
I eventually, dared to let go ..

The utter loss so poetically described. More than the death of a relationship but the loss of 'home'. And as 'home' is never a physical place ... how to ever rebuild? Hugs x
