You,
my beloved one,
soak up all my attentions
My helpful suggestions
You love that I love you
That I pray for sunshine above you
My protection
My affection
My spontaneous seduction
My listening
My kissing
A loyal companion.
But where, sweet beloved,
are you
When I need you
Your strength
Your reassurance
Your fearless steadfastness
Those nights in life
When I feel my aloneness
When fear quakes my faith
And my feelings choke me
When our words, our responses
Hurt me, unnerve me
Won’t you be there then to support me?
We both need each other
And If we are to create safety
We have to be there for each other, equally.
But instead I write poems and I ask
Where love are you now
My one and only
