Love
Just the one word
Umbrella
Insufficient
For all the world
Its depth and breadth
From love of life and country
To child and friend and wife
For family pet and favourite food
For football team or colour red
Designer shoes by Jimmy Choo
Scent of grass or wood smoke fire
Remains of passion
Worn with age
Or current surging
Brand new lust
Imperative and must
All senses filled incontinent
From searing heat of fireball
To tender mother’s bliss
Kiss of newborn
Just the one word
Omnipotent
Love
Just the one word
Umbrella
Insufficient
For all the world
Its depth and breadth
From love of life and country
To child and friend and wife
For family pet and favourite food
For football team or colour red

Remains of passion
Worn with age
Or current surging
Brand new lust
Imperative and must
All senses filled incontinent
From searing heat of fireball
To tender mother’s bliss
Kiss of newborn
Just the one word
Omnipotent

ReplyDeleteThank you Sally, beautiful words, a helpful reminder, an inner core that can easily become out of sight out of reach. I suddenly had a wonderful image of how the independence seeking toddler frequently needs to touch base with it! xx
