We Are In Love Poem by Louise Tredoux

Housecleaning – went outside, heard
the call of the beach, the soft song
of the sea, freedom for me, went for
a swim in the surf, enjoying the feeling,
drying in the sun, dreaming, our conversation
yesterday, an argument, I think all people
are guilty of the rise in crime;
you believe the culprits alone should
stand trial, I believe humanity on trail
at this time, for creating an unthinking,
irrational society, creating victims…

You ended the fight with a kiss, you are
so sweet, but I shall never agree simply
because I love you, I kissed your recalcitrant
mouth, forming a pout in displeasure with me
and laughed at your insistence that we should
agree, the only thing I agree on unconditionally
is that we are in love and forever will be…
