Always My Heart Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Always My Heart

Rating: 5.0


Me, naked
clothed only in fever

barely aware
you are there

as you tend to me
soothe me...cool me

with water
the preciousness of its coldness

my angry skin
drinking it hungrily greedily in

& always
the mystery of your voice

coming from somewhere...no where

hushing me & shushing me
to sleep

drying me
with your long red hair

whispering
in my ear

'My Beloved is mine
and I am his.'

The flames of your hair
casting out the flames of the fever

your voice
a magic spell

an incantation.

Always my heart
thanks you
for this

your care

your love

when I was sick.
