ReUnion
–
stepping softly
you trod the path
to my front door
–
never rang the bell
played favorite songs
over and over until
–
senses on overload
surrounded by romance
you kissed me quick
–
my heart pumped electric
zinging over barriers
erected years ago
–
breaths of pain
barely contained
welcomed as veins
–
formed highways
joined the chorus
to wash with heat
–
a thrumming melody
echoes of words
rhymed with roses
–
thorns ignored love
posies fresh and blood
red for us young again
