when I am not with you

when I am not with you

when I am not with you
you will find it
between your pillows
sleeping in the same bed
kissing you good night
while you sleep and
kissing you good morning
when you awake
 
hidden among your socks
next to your toothbrush
hanging with your shirts
stirring your morning coffee
maybe you will feel it or
maybe you will not notice
when the curtains open or
when the lights go out
but there it will be
in the constant hour
like in the clock
like the paintings on the wall
like the frames of the doors
of this our home
through all seasons
through all time
 
you will put down your book
you will rest your eyes
for a minute or two
by surprise
like an old friend
smiling back at you
overflowing with love
in no particular place
here in our home
it will be for you always…
my heart

Thank you Gwendoline.    I got inspired by a line in a poem of ee Cummings (my favourite poet).   

I carry your heart in my heart.  

But then I thought, what if I leave my heart there where you are.  

Hearts galore. x
