love poem 3

I woke up and saw your pleasant face across from me.
Your beautiful eyes are smiling like they've just been told some really great news.
Your lovely lips are curved into a sleepy smile.
You have the expression of a kitten with a belly full of milk. 

I haven't been this close to you for a while, 
and as I reach out, as if to stroke your chin,
I think how grateful I am

for long distance lenses

weather colours

My feelings for you are burgundy.
The very old and the very young would suffer if we were the weather.
We'd make the national news;people would have to be reminded to keep their dogs out of cars
and themselves in the shade
Nights would be unbearably hot and when they'd finally fall asleep
they'd dream of winter
