PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As if I walked into your room

That night. 

Your winter coat open

For a good bye hug

I stepped into it,

Slid into it. 

Into your arms 

Up against you big chest

Your barrel body 

Solid 

Inside that wool overwear

I felt

I felt

I felt

 home 

a gasp came 

A gasp went 

I stepped out 

Out  of that room 

Stepped back on my heel

Looked up 

Look up finally 

At you

Oh

I said

That’s nice 

The vacuum 

Left from that embrace

Dogs me haunts me

The suction 

To separate 

My hands on your arms

I have to go 

I need to go 

I love you still 

And I don’t know you 

I’m stepped into a room. 

A room inside your arms

And there with you the man

With my fathers eyes 

To hold me safe. 

Hold me 

Safe
