(for Dónall) Love Song Poem by Janice Windle

(for Dónall) Love Song

Rating: 3.0


I sat
sweating in my July hat
your leg warm on mine,
your smile glowing near my cheek,
your song, that I fancied only I could hear,
opening my heart like a flower
to the sun.

“Come, come,
No harm can be done
If I sculpt with my hands
Your curving hips;
With my tongue, part
Your waiting lips;
Reframe your sexuality
So that it’s powered by
Our loving needs.”

And all the heated day
I’m falling, falling, falling,
believing you will catch me
in your soft net.

Oh Sid John Gardner, I have to reply to you - you've surely made a typo... you must mean MATCH of the day! And neither of us a football fan, either!

Hi! I'm back to worship at the shrine of the hat and the beautiful love you kept so shyly under it. My mind is reaching out its cold little hands and warming itself at your words. Such gentle gentleness gently infusing the thought in word and deed. Lucky man! Lucky man indeed! love Donall Donall
