Moments of Stillness

by vexations

I can take her moments of stillness,
signs of complacency
that blight our love.

She doesn't rape my mind
with congeniality,
and routine rituals,
building a fraudulent peace.

I can entertain her
madness amid
my reaching,
my yearning.

She's not fickle.
like the yellow daffodil
that closes from the cold
and shrinks in the dark.

She mets my capricious moments
with effortless loyalty
oozing through her fingers
interlaced with mine
and finding places in me
I had never entered.

Intriguing poem with many interesting images. Thanks for sharing. Is this an ongoing relaionshiop or an old one? Or imaginary? Just curious! Warm Wishes, Tasha

    So sorry to delay in response. I've been on a cruise! Just back late last night. So glad you liked this poem that is about an ongoing relationship. One of those fulfilling kind that makes for a broader and more interesting, yet confusing life. Cheers.
