This Beloved Space(For Janice) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Oh love
but newly born

a mere week old
(as time goes)

here in
the cradle of our arms

which we have hardly left
for 3 days now

charmed by its magic
circumference

this beloved
space

face to face
naked & new

body mind soul
those elements of being
human

unfurling like a banner
to the endless sky

proclaiming
Love

holds dominium
over us

& we
its loyal subjects are

encompassed by our arms
we hold the world

of our love
(sleeping gently now)

we mere mortals
...immortal are.
