The mood of letters

The mood of letters

Up the stairs
and through the door
and tucked away under the drawer –
the mood of letters spoke

A revelation
shared with them alone
in older days (before home phones) –
the mood of letters woke

Over time the
mood would change –
pages yellow (rearranged) –
but one thing stayed the same

Years later I’d
come back to see
the house – the furnishings (complete) –
under sheets that bore their name

But of all the things
that made me yearn
the letters’ mood would make me turn
to thoughts of yesteryear

I opened one –
be careful now
it said; honey, soon I’ll be in town –
I wiped away a tear

I could see him
resting on the train
bunkered down – there he’d remain
until he saw her face

One night – just sitting
he’d confess;
I love you honey – she said ‘yes’
she was his saving grace

The letters’ mood
(with time) would change from there –
infatuation – romance – love and care
together they were one

Up the stairs
and through the door
and tucked away under the drawer
of a loving son.

A love grown by design

A love grown by design

It was where the several stayed
the few – they strived to be
like those stuck to the peaceful...

A lifetime bare

A lifetime bare

A burden in the afternoon
like lightning in the dark
and when the night stars disappeared...

She came but in an afternoon

She came but in an afternoon

She came but in an afternoon
and stayed until the dawn
and looked like a rose by 'nother name...
