Romance From A Doormat's Perspective
From The Door To Morning's Kiss
I will always be the door
That you pass in and out.
I will be your window to other worlds
You seldom witness, see through.
I will be a cement slab poured
To the entrance of my heart,
Awaiting your arrival to
Sometimes stand, yet never linger,
To sit, repose with me below a canopy
Of trees; moon shelter
In the few warm nights,
Cradle with my dreams.
I am a candle in a room
Perpetually burning, flickering.
Aromatic shadows fill
a long hall.
I lick oxygen like love
Lingering, my essence,
Mere wisps of freedom
Invisibly settle in your dark:
On our bed, in your hair,
On what clothes would remain
If we strip bare our emotions
Down to the hardwood floor,
Remnants until morning light.
We could arrive anew, afresh.
I see my smile on your face,
Embraced with morning’s kiss
of sublime, shuttered sunrise,
slatted and slathering
our delighted skin warm.
Will you greet me anew then?

Written by a dreamer romanticizing what could be with fresh eyes, husked from two that are failing.
