Poems of Love & Life

Your Strangeness


We lay

close and careful

in our strangeness,

travelling slowly

the dark distances

of soft skin

and discovery.

 

We were neither of us sure

of what we knew,

or needed,

only

that the darkness

we travelled together

was so much warmer, somehow,

than the world

we  had left,

alone.

 

Later,

I learn't 

the way of others,

on other travels,

but, your 'strangeness'

never left me.
