My Love

Posted on January 26, 2015January 26, 2015 by Susan Rowland

The bristling burst of anguish

threatened to shatter my day.

But slowly, rhythmically the long lament disappeared

down into a song

as you took my hand

and held it to your cheek.

Hi Viva, thanks. The first version was something like “disappeared down the steely tracks” and worse. :0
