Does She Poem by Susan Lacovara

Does she love your morning eyes
Sleepy with sea foam softness
Blue, like none other I have known
Forty years I held onto the memory
Of their shine

I loved waking next to you...
Reach across the covers
And find your beating heart
You never minded my disturbing your sleep
For we were part of the dream

Does she coo like a mourning dove
In the silken gloved touch of your hand
Fall into the abyss of blissful surrender
Under your deeply casted spell

Does she prepare HER day
Around the thought
Of YOUR happiness
Merrily making music
From the sighs of the synchronized symphony
That comes from two souls slipping into each other
Or was that ours and ours alone

Does she see your pain
And wish to erase it
Banish every last trace of torment
Polish your heart with a gentle hand
Hold all your fragile pieces together

I am here on the brink of barren
With all my love to give
Every waking moment to live
With you, For you, Beside you, Behind you
And yet, you look away
