Love <br /> <br />like voodoo <br />I <br /> <br />conjure you <br />from forgotten things. <br /> <br />Here a slip <br />spilt in satin <br /> <br />on seventh step of the stars <br /> <br />here a froth <br />of panties <br /> <br />pooled upon <br />the floor <br /> <br />a swan sailing on <br />its own reflection <br /> <br />there a silk stocking <br />reclining over <br /> <br />the arm of an arm <br />chair <br /> <br />here the other <br />sliding down the banister <br /> <br />& now a pink <br />high heeled shoe <br /> <br />precariously clinging <br />as if it had climbed there <br /> <br />to the mirror <br /> <br />finding your reflection <br />soaking in suds <br /> <br />smiling: “Mmmmmm...hello hon! ” <br /> <br />“I’m almost <br />out of my mind <br /> <br />for a cool glass <br />of wine <br /> <br />...do you mind? ” <br /> <br />“Be a pet <br />& get it! ” <br /> <br />You got it <br /> <br />purring like a cat <br />as I sponge your back <br /> <br />spoon feeding you <br />prawns & avocado pears. <br /> <br />I amazed <br />at this being <br /> <br />that love <br />has made <br /> <br />from such scrips & scraps <br />of scattered clothes <br /> <br />this my beloved <br />woman <br /> <br />in whom <br />I am <br /> <br />well pleased <br /> <br />to paraphrase <br />something that God once said.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-paraphrase-something-god-once-said-for-frieda-rose/
