In the warm
embrace of hearth & home
redolent
with the fragrance of Love
Still I hear
the old lies echo
erosive
& caustic
I can barely
find the strength to battle tonight
tamping down
the ache,
wearily turn
my face again to Light & Truth
to Love.
Dousing the
past I tiptoe through the darkened house
sighing into
your tender embrace
hot pain
flows easy now,
safe here in
your arms letting hurt go
tender
kisses a balm on ancient wounds
What lies still batter your heart?
