You were older than I was:
nineteen years older, old
enough to be my mother
not my lover, but you were,
each part of you, that dyed
blonde hair, Rubenesque
figure, blue eyes, **** voice,
and us making out either
in your lounge on the blue
sofa or in your double bed
with moonlight pouring in
on us. You liked the bottle
of wine or scotch I brought,
the Mahler 1st or 5th, small
talk, the big talk. You were
the seduced of my youth
and it was fine, it was an
education of one to one,
a kiss and never tell or tell,
but not with whom or where.
I sailed you through Seven
Seas, climbed your mountain
peaks, surveyed your valleys
of dark and love and lust.
You rest now, in God's peace,
I hope and I trust.
