Take Me Back Home Now
Written for dVerse Poets Tuesday Poetics:
The Opticians Words where the challenge is
to use one or two or more sets of words in a poem
in the order in which they appear. This is my poem.
One summer I took his name.
“This means you are mine
and I am yours” he sighed as
we arose from the cold, damp floor.
I stepped nearer for him to remove
my veil and stared into his glistening
indigo eyes, blue-black like the crow.
Grazing his mouth with mine,
lips barely touching, I murmured
“Take me back home now, my love,
to our wedding bed
in the caves by the sea.
Read sonnets and verses to me
as waves churn and cream
against the ocean’s shore.”
