I left for home without words
to anyone

not just you.

Late afternoon theft

a stranger in my room
pacing

length and breadth

don't worry

It's only me
not just you.

Stolen courage and grasp

are somewhere in our home

hidden in your bed?

afraid to make the first move..

so

I will arrive as softly as I left.

And the one word given
upon your return
would be?

Excellent, Gemma!

You have such power in your poetry...such sharp and clear bouquet.  I really liked this Gemma.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Your poetry is like fine wine, it's all so good, and then some.

Hugs, gemma gemma~
