Three Danish Cities

Odense, the first time, the station platform.
With your winning smile descending to greet me.
Boundless nervous energy building for weeks
To be replaced by an easy, natural kiss
As arm in arm we step out on the road
And destiny smiles from above.

Copenhagen, bustling airport as I seek your face
And there so close, as if we'd never been apart.
Bridges rebuilt, plans to form, love to share
Guttering candles, thrown out of bars, life to live
A slow burning fuse of shared desire
To be held so close as I climb into the western sky.

Kolding, you can drive, long legs stretched out
My favourite picture of you at dinner
Walk hand in hand through the town to meet your sister
Your mind made up, hopes all out, no going back.
Monthly long distance love soon to be replaced
By a daily melt into your crystal eyes.
