Love in an empty house

In time when the winds blew elsewhere, our tales found a home   

when the door opened they were all there 

smiles and tears in a corner 

hugs on the sofa and grilled cheese in the kitchen

a bed askew from love making 

the shower misting unwritten notes on the mirror

a trickle of of melted ice on half drunk gin

and the fading notes of a song ending after a while 

the perfume of your skin 

and the sweat of my brow...
