unbidden




words
spill out the mouth
the unbidden mists
veiled un-truths
half-verities

for one moment
I am whole
but it is not me

some other woman
echoes through the hollow openings
gaping wide between truth and trust

instead an embrace
I plunge into silent darkness
cold arms close over me
and I am stolen
pirated

time's bewitched cargo

  1. What an incredible poet you still are I thrill to your words, am enticed by the rich panoply of your work.

    No-one should ladder the tights if your soul

    I read your previous post and am delighted you have found love again.
