Who?

You come to me
in whispers of leaves 
outside my bedroom window,
soft as a moth wing
my dark love.

Memory curls around a signpost
at a fork in the back of my mind.
If I return and choose
the other path
who would nestle
between my breaths
and be
my dark love?

    "..If I return and choose

    between my breaths"

    I love that phrase! Beautifully penned, Mary!

    I absolutely love ' Memory curls around a signpost
    at a fork in the back of my mind..." and boy can I relate. Which path indeed. They say you lose your memory when you get older--you do, but not for things like this--they just get more real.

    This is a lovely, evocative 55, Mary.

    Very lush and evocative. I especially like the moth wing and the signpost.

    Super pretty poem! Especially the first stanza, I thought. The assonance and sound beautiful throughout. This is Karin Manicddaily on wordpress but mobile device makes me use old blogger blog. k.

    Mary, a sense of mystery and beauty in this short poem. I especially like the image of nestling between breaths.
