Could Be Anywhere...

Hide and Seek

I awaken from my slumber
still sticky and satisfied.
Rested, comfortable, dazed
smiling from our lovemaking.

Wandering about our home
seeking my missing beloved.
Finding coffee waiting for me
reminding me that I am loved.

Walking about, almost like a song
searching her favorite places.
Her usual nest, cluttered and empty
yet her fragrance lingers on.

Our “sipping” porch is also empty
except for her stray, Mama cat.
Laughing as the cat demands,
“where is your mate that feeds me!”

Checking the studio-spare room
where... oh where, can my love be?
Touching her things for clues
feeling her presence in my life.

Even her garden out back, empty
no where can my baby be found.
Wandering about with my coffee
sensing she is near, playing.

I end my search at the beginning
her arms extend to me in welcome.
As I find her waiting in our bed
obviously wanting a rematch.

the artist once upon...
        known as "bleeding"

great read. down to earth and a casual style adds to the beauty.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
